∙ 11y agoThat depends on the size of the orchestra (and their budget). The symphony orchestra is comprised of 4 sections: the woodwinds, the brass, the percussion and the strings. Each of theses sections is made up of "families" of instruments which have different "members" in each family. Depending on the size of the orchestra you may or may not see certain members of the families. The instruments in brackets are doubles which may not appear in smaller orchestras:
Woodwinds: Flute family - flute, (piccolo, alto flute, sometimes bass flute)
Oboe family - oboe, (English horn, sometimes bass oboe)
Clarinet family - Bb clarinet, (A, C and Eb clarinets, bass clarinet)
Bassoon family - bassoon, (contrabassoon)
Brass: French horns - (triple horn, descant horn)
Trumpets - Bb Trumpet, (piccolo trumpet, sometimes cornet, flugel horn)
Trombones - Tenor Trombone, (bass trombone)
Tuba - various sized tubas (euphonium, Wagner tuba)
Strings: The violin family - violin, viola, cello, bass
The percussion section varies greatly from orchestra to orchestra. Usually consisting of a timpani player plus others playing cymbals, drums, keyboard percussion....
The unofficial 5th "others section" would contain the piano, organ, harp or any other instrument not named above, but not all pieces require them, so they are not included in all orchestras.
