The Percussion Section/Family. It is usually located at the back of the the Orchestra.
Saxophones are reed instruments not normally found in a symphony orchestra.
Strings, woodwinds and percussion instruments were used in the romantic period orchestra. Small scale instruments were used during this period.
Timpani are found in the percussion section.
In an orchestra, you can typically find instruments such as strings (violin, cello), woodwinds (flute, clarinet), brass (trumpet, trombone), and percussion (drums, timpani).
Probably the best solution is to contact the Boston Symphony, itself. See the link below:
The average number of timpani players in an orchestra typically ranges from one to four, with most orchestras featuring two players. This allows for a broader tonal range and the ability to play intricate parts more effectively. In larger orchestras, such as those performing major symphonic works, you may find up to four timpani players to enhance the percussion section.
The best way to find and purchase conductor sheet music for a symphony orchestra performance is to search online music stores, specialized sheet music retailers, or contact the publisher directly. Make sure to choose the correct arrangement and edition for your orchestra's needs.
In a philharmonic orchestra, you will typically find instruments such as violins, violas, cellos, double basses, flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, trumpets, trombones, French horns, and percussion instruments like timpani and cymbals.
It is very hard to find a complete listing of orchestras that have performed a particular symphony unless it is an original work or an unknown piece. However some information can be gathered by visiting the license rights holder of the particular symphonies and requesting for data there.

There may be up to three or four different types (different sizes and ranges) of Clarinet in a standard orchestra, depending on the particular music to be played. However, they would not be referred to as 'clarinet families'. The family to which clarinets belong is the 'woodwind family', which in a standard symphony orchestra also comprises flutes/piccolos, oboes, and bassoons. There are well over a dozen different types of clarinet, many of them very specialised, but you would not expect to find more than a few types occurring together in a standard orchestra.
Yes, I believe it must be. There seem to be many Philharmonic Symphony Orchestras, and even Philharmonic Symphony Choirs, but they all have the names of the places where they are in front of them; like London, Calgary, St. Louis, etc. This particular Orchestra seems never to have existed. Perhaps it was just put together by friends Hayman had in various orchestras unofficially, for these recordings, and that is what he called them for a few brief months in 1989? More like a spontaneous rock band than an orchestra, which is more like a company in that continues from year to year, perhaps...
