Best Answer

If you count both Violin parts (Violin I & II), there were between 16 violinists in the early Classical orchestra and up to 30 in the present day. Any number between those two extremes could be in a professional orchestra.

The violin is the highest instrument in a string orchestra.

However, the piccolo is the highest instrument in a full orchestra.
