There are four general categories of instruments in an orchestra. These are Strings, Brass, Woodwind and Percussion.

The Strings include violins, violas, cellos, and basses.

The Brass include trumpets, trombones, euphonium or baritone, tuba, french horn and cornet.

The Woodwinds include flute, Clarinet, oboe, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, and bassoon,

Though many Percussion instruments can be used in an orchestral setting, according to the instrumentation called for in the music being played, typical instrumentation includes, but is not limited to chimes, glockenspiel, xylophones, timpani, bass drums, wind chimes, triangles, rainsticks, castanets, and snare drums.
