The smallest orchestral stringed instrument is the Violin. The size of stringed instruments, from smallest to largest, is as follows:
Violin
Viola
Cello
Double Bass
double bass from the string family
Violin
The piccolo, which is a small version of the flute. Some might say the piccolo since it is quite small. However, there are so many percussion instruments that it is hard to tell which might be the smallest. I would think that castanets might be considered the smallest instrument in the orchestra. They are typically about the size of the palm of your hand.
The harp is a solo string instrument, BUT it belongs to the percussion family in the orchestra, as it is used mostly for special effects.
By numbers, it's the string section. A full-sized orchestra has around 60 string players
The Double Bass.
A viola is a string instrument, not a percussion instrument, and therefore it is used in an orchestra.

The cello makes the lowest sound of a string instrument.
It depends on the orchestra. Symphony orchestra- no. Ethnic orchestra- might be.
In a string orchestra, an orchestra with violin, cello, viola, and bass, the bass is the largest and lowest instrument. However, if you were looking for the largest string instrument in a full orchestra, the piano would be the instrument for which you are looking.
