What is the smallest instrument in an orchestra?

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.


What is an instrument that is not in Australia?

You have to be more specific. I could say a hog fiddle, but there might be a Persian instrument afficionado living in Australia that might have one. There's no way to tell what instrument is not in Australia.


Name something an orchestra conductor needs to do his job?

To become an orchestra musician, you must first play an orchestral instrument and be commited to it. Being in an orchestra is hard work and if you are not commited, it won't be a very enjoyable experience. Then you have to find an orchestra. If you are still in school, your school might have an orchestra program. If not, there might be a local youth orchestra. Most orchestras have an audition process to select the musicians, so make sure you have the appropriate repertoire prepared. If you are an adult and have had orchestral playing experience in your youth, you might want to try audition for a professional orchestra. The chances of getting into a professional orchestra are much slimmer than a youth orchestra especially if you are a woodwind/brass/percussion player. Only audition for a professional orchestra if you are seriously commited to your instrument. If you are an adult and have had little/no orchestral playing experience or you don't have the commitment/time to be in a professional orchestra, try find a community orchestra for adults. Community orchestras provide an opportunity for adults who never got to play in orchestras a lot. Generally, community orchestras don't have an audition process and you can just sign up.

What is orchesta's biggest brass instrument?

The tuba is the biggest brass instrument used in a symphony orchestra. (There are some very rare special pieces of music where a composer might call for an instrument that is not normally in an orchestra. For example, there is a family of brass instruments called ophicleides that were used in the 1800's, and those came in many sizes, including ones as big as the tuba.)
