Generally, this is called a "string orchestra" although it could be anything.
Oh, dude, it's like comparing apples and oranges! The Wind Ensemble is all about those woodwinds and brass instruments, while the Symphonic Orchestra brings in the strings. It's like choosing between a burrito and a burger - both delicious, just different flavors, you know?
Why would they be any different to instruments in any symphony orchestra? Maybe their distinctive feature is being in Chicago?
because all woodwind instruments use reeds

Wind instruments convert a moving column of air into sound, whether the air comes from the player's lungs or an external device. This category of instruments extends far beyond the familiar brasses and woodwinds of the orchestra to include harmonicas, accordions and Bagpipes, all of which use unconventional methods of setting air into motion. For traditional wind instruments, however, players use their own lips and lungs to control the passage of air through the instrument, and in some cases the pitch as well.
Those are not one group inclusive, although it could remotely be a "trio."
Bass guitar
Comparing individual instruments, it's likely that some percussions can produce louder sounds than brasses can. But when it comes to 'sections of an orchestra', I'd say that the brass have it.
Flyleaf's instruments consist of: Guitar Bass Drums And on occasion: Timpani Wind chimes

The main difference is the number of musicians. Bach's "huge" orchestras were of 20-25 people max. Now, orchestras can have 75 or even 90 musicians in them. The insruments have changed: They used to emit a lot less sound and the texture was completely different. Many instruments such as the clarinet didn't even exist until the 1750s. There are some baroque and even classical pieces (such as Haydn's Cello concerto) that only use the oboe and the French Horn as wind instruments.
Either the Woodwinds or the Brass, since both take "wind" in order to produce sounds, imo. But, for the sake of proper terms, "wind" instruments typically are any instruments that use a reed as part of their tone generation.ALS/A+ Answer= aerophonesA saxophone is in the woodwind family
