Best Answer

A symphony orchestra has instruments from most of the instrument families (woodwind, stings, brass, percussion, and sometimes keyboard). Usually there is a variety of instruments from each family.

Some of the common ones would be the flute, Clarinet, bassoon (for woodwinds), the tuba, Trombone, Trumpet (for brass), violin, cello, double bass/ string bass (for strings), the timpani, snare, symbols (for percussion), and sometimes an orchestra may have an organ (as the keyboard).

Is a symphony the same as an orchestra?

Not really... although the terms are generally used synonomously, these days. An orchestra is defined as an ensemble of different families of instruments. So, that could include concert bands, big bands and the jazz orchestra (big band, 2 horns and strings), among others. A symphony is a specific musical form, usually played by a (fairly) specific ensemble. So, the term "symphony orchestra" is literally an ensemble capable of playing that kind of piece... thus the modern symphony orchestra. Generally, the term "symphony orchestra" is more specific, when talking about the classical ensemble.
