How many main sections does an orchestra have four five or three

Depends upon the composer. The composer actually calls out which instrument and how many of each are required to perform his or her work. Generally though, there are the following common sections of an orchestra:

  1. Strings (violins, violas, cellos, bass,harp)
  2. Brass (trumpets, french horn, tuba etc)
  3. Woodwinds (oboe, clarinet, bassoon)
  4. Percussion (snare drum, timpani, piano)

(The piano is a 'stringed' instrument but employs a 'percussive' effort in order to produce sound, so it is a "hybrid" instrument and can be part of the string or percussion family equally)

Which instrument is considered to be the oldest of all instruments gong chime drum
