Any instrument can be included in the orchestra provided the composer has written a part for it. It's the composer of the piece who determines which and how many of each instrument is required to perform his or her works.

∙ 13y agoBrass instruments vary from orchestra to orchestra.
Almost all orchestras have about four trumpets, three trombones, and four French horns. These numbers are approximate, and these players have harmony or counter-melody parts in comparison with the strings.
Many orchestras will have a tuba on a part similar to the double bass.
Some will have a euphonium or a baritone, but they generally play the Trombone part anyway.
Orchestras pretty much never have flugelhorns or mellophones. Even though it's technically a woodwind, they also usually lack saxophones.

Is a symphony the same as an orchestra?
Not really... although the terms are generally used synonomously, these days. An orchestra is defined as an ensemble of different families of instruments. So, that could include concert bands, big bands and the jazz orchestra (big band, 2 horns and strings), among others. A symphony is a specific musical form, usually played by a (fairly) specific ensemble. So, the term "symphony orchestra" is literally an ensemble capable of playing that kind of piece... thus the modern symphony orchestra. Generally, the term "symphony orchestra" is more specific, when talking about the classical ensemble.
