In a standard orchestra, there are four groups: flutes, oboes, clarinets & bassoons. Each group has alternate instruments the players are sometimes called upon to play. Flute players also use piccolo and alto flute. Clarinet players also play e-flat clarinet and Bass Clarinet. Oboe players are required to play English horn as well. And bassoon players can double up on contrabassoon. Occasionally a piece will call for a Saxophone or two- many flute and clarinet players are able to play sax, though sometimes a saxophonist is called in.

Where do woodwind instruments sit in the orcastra?

In an orchestra, woodwind instruments are typically positioned behind the strings and in front of the brass section. Their placement allows for a balance of sound, as the woodwinds can blend harmoniously with strings while still being audible over the brass. Common woodwind instruments include flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons. This arrangement enhances the overall texture and color of the orchestra's sound.
