There are man instruments that are a part of the orchestra, depending on how the composer has written. Traditionally, it was comprised of a large string section, a woodwind section, and a small brass section, but such has changed as romanticism and modern techniques have taken the stage.

In a modern orchestra, you are most likely to find a first violin section, a second violin section, a viola section, a cello section, and a bass section among the string instruments. Brass instruments include the horn, the trumpet, the trombone, the euphonium, and the occasional tuba. Woodwind instruments include the flute, the clarinet, the oboe, the bassoon, the Bass Clarinet, and occasionally a Tenor Saxophone, which became popular during the industrial revolution for its strange shape and which was found more commonly written into orchestral music than its alto counterpart. The Saxophone, however, is not often seen in the orchestra because it is a relatively newer instrument.

Percussion in the orchestra is varying, but usually includes the timpani, the piano, and the occasional other keyboard instruments (such as the xylophone, vibraphone, and marimba). Other percussion instruments sometimes found in the modern orchestra include the bass drum, not so commonly the snare drum, and the cymbals. Some compositions call for other instruments, such as cowbells and wooden blocks. It is all very varying from composer to composer, some asking simply for a timpani and some asking for an entire section of steel drums with an ocean drum to the side.

Here is a simplified answer.

In the modern orchestra, there are basically four sections that look like this:

  • Strings = Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass
  • Woodwinds = Flute, Clarinet, Oboe, Bassoon
  • Brass = Trumpet, French horn, Trombone, Tuba; and
  • Percussion = Timpani, Snare drum, Bass drum, Cymbals, etc.
