Stringed instruments in an orchestra include: Violins, violas, cellos, and double basses

Woodwind instruments in an orchestra include: Flutes, piccolo, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons

Brass instruments in an orchestra include: Trumpets, French horns, trombones, and tuba.

Percussion instruments include: Snare drum, bass drum, chimes, xylophone, timpani, triangle, tambourine, and many more, depending on the song.
