What is the highest stringed instrument in an orchistra?
The violin is the highest instrument in a string orchestra.

How many violins make up a small orchestra?
A small orchestra typically includes around 8 to 12 violins, divided into first and second violins. The exact number can vary based on the specific composition and arrangement of the orchestra. Generally, the first violins play the melody, while the second violins provide harmony and support. This configuration allows for a balanced string section within the ensemble.
Why does the number of violins in an orchestra vary?
Because unlike winds and brass in which there is a set number of parts, i.e. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd trumpet, the 1st and 2nd violin parts only very generally convey the composer's means, and most composers will say a large or small string section depending on what they have in mind, but composers rarely have a set number of string parts in their head, as opposed to winds or brass because violins don't carry as well in the context of the orchestra. Background (kinda): There can be anywhere from 1 to like 100 violin players in an orchestra. There are usually 2 parts (1st and 2nd violin) and they split it half 1st half 2nd. Sometimes there are like 5 different violin parts. Actual answer: The reason they vary is generally because of how many people are in the orchestra and they just split it. Also it is because of how loud the conductor wants the violins to be
