Baroque orchestras typically use period instruments, so the instruments that baroque composers would have originally composed for. This can create a more authentic experience for audience members with a sound that isn't heard with modern instruments.
The modern orchestra was first introduced during the classical period. Classical composers developed the genres of symphony and classical concerto (solo instrument and orchestra). Among the pioneer classical composers stand F. J. Haydn and W. A. Mozart.
The harpsichord is not usually part of a modern orchestra, but it is an essential part of the baroque orchestra -- the period of Bach and Handel. In this orchestra, the harpsichordist doubles the basses and cellos with his left hand, and improvises chords with his right hand, filling in the harmony. This is called the continuo. In church music the same function is often performed by the organist. During the baroque period the performer of the continuo was often the composer.
Modern Art appears before the Baroque Period on a historical timeline.
The term Concerto (plural concertos or concerti) usually refers to a musical work in which one solo instrument is accompanied by an orchestra. The concerto, as understood in this modern way, arose in the Baroque period side by side with the concert grosso, which contrasted a small group of instruments with the rest of the orchestra. While the concerto grosso is confined to the Baroque period, the solo concerto has continued as a vital musical force to this day. This article will concentrate on the development of the solo concerto.

there is four modern trumpets
The modern day bandurria has 12 strings (6 pairs). During the renaissance, they had two.
Usually there is only one piccolo in an orchestra.
it depends on how big the orchestra is. there is no set number.
There are a couple reasons. For one, many performances were in the homes of royalty and nobility, rather than large concert stages, so there was the simple issue of space in a room. Second, many several instruments in modern orchestras hadn't even been invented yet, or at least weren't at a level of development to use with orchestra.
