It depends on the orchestra you are in! The director places the instruments in a particular order for the best blend of sounds produced by the orchestra. Typically, a symphony orchestra does not have parts for saxophones, however when the music calls for a Saxophone to be played, the saxophone generally fits into the woodwind sections with the clarinets, flutes, oboes, and bassoons.
The saxophone is not a standard member of a symphony orchestra. It was invented in Beethoven's time, but didn't begin to be used in symphonic music until the late 19th century. When a piece calls for saxophones, they sit in the center with the woodwind section, placed according to the wishes of the conductor.
Somewhere in the audience, as orchestras generally don't use a baritone sax.
Most orchestral music doesn't use a saxophone, but for the occasional pieces that do, the sax usually sits next to the clarinets.
The organization of an orchestra is hundreds of years old and fairly universal. Clarinets sit with similar instruments (like the oboe, bassoon and flute) in the center of the orchestra.
Yes, oboe is responsible for tuning the orchestra.
Typically two oboists play in the orchestra; with the 2nd oboist doubling on English horn when needed. Some larger professional Symphony Orchestras (like the Chicago Symphony Orchestra). Have a dedicated English hornist, that can double second oboe, or play the rare third oboe part in a pinch.
the oboe is used in about all categories of of musical groups...even in marching bands. and yes, oboes are in the orchestra, and band as well.
Orchestras are usually tuned to an oboe. The open note, (that is, the note an oboe plays without any fingering), is an A, and the orchestra tunes best to that note. When a piano is featured as solo instrument, the orchestra tunes to the A of the piano, because it's easier for them to adjust their pitch than for the piano.
