There is usually one piccolo in an orchestra, but the larger the orchestra, piccolos may need to be added.
They play an octave higher than the Flute and are the highest-pitched instrument in the orchestra. Any parts they play stand out above the rest of the ensemble.
Usually an orchestra has only one piccolo
Usually 1
in the woodwind section just like the flute how do i know???? experience play in band going to play flute more info flutes and piccolos are pretty much the same thing just piccolos are smaller and more expensive!;) plus the piccolo is in the band not orchestra!!!!!!!!;) ^actually, piccolos are in orchestra. In an orchestra, there are typically 2 flutes and one piccolo player. They are not just in band.
Some instruments that are used in a chamber orchestra are bassoons, oboes, clarinets, flutes, and piccolos. Trumpets, trombones, French horns, drums, violins, and cellos are also used. A chamber orchestra will have between 50 or 60 instruments.

I believe that a Piccolo does not have a reed but instead a mouthpiece.
Usually there are no baritones in an orchestra.

The piccolos sang sweetly through the orchestra

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.
