In an orchestra, violinists sit at the left hand of the conductor. The leftmost chair is called the 'first chair violinist', and to the right of that chair is the 'second chair violinist'.
Sometimes, the conductor turns over rehearsal leadership to the first chair violinist.

How many violins are there usually in an orchestra?
In a Full Orchestra, usually about 32-40 in total, depending on the distribution of both the 1st and 2nd violins. Many full professional orchestras do 20 1st violins and 20 second violins, adding up to 40 violin to produce a full powerful sound. My youth orchestra does 16 per section, which adds up to 32 violins in total.On the other hand, some smaller orchestras (such as chamber ensembles) may only have less than 16 violins per section.There is no specified quantity that must be used at all times.

Classical era orchestras had 16 violinists (8 1st violinists, 8 2nd violinists). Early romantic era orchestras had 26 violinists (14 1st violinists, 12 2nd violinists). Later romantic era orchestras 32 violinists (16 1st violinists, 16 2nd violinists). Modern era orchestras, however, have a decreased number (since the last period): 30 violinists (16 1st violinists, 14 2nd violinists). Note that these are just averages. Chamber orchestras might have less to create a more intimate sound and often, orchestras use a different number of violinists as they perform different era pieces.Well in a Symphonic Orchestra or Philharmonic Orchestra it's between 12 and 30. With a two to one ratio for violas and violoncellos and 4 to one for double basses for the rest of the strings section.lnbdflheo;hjapsnj dfjbyop j;pkgb;nlae dfljt;jkmbdnlzxmt4;2k pzdfmgl owerjp5jkr3;pjk
