Guitar is not an orchestral instrument since it is not a regular part of a symphony orchestra. There are only several pieces that require guitar (and/or mandolin), but those are only for one or several movements inside a piece and not for the entire duration of the work. There are several reasons for exclusion of the guitar from the symphony orchestra, but the main one would probably be the difference in volume levels between the guitar and other orchestral instruments.

What string 3 instruments are usually not found in an orchestra?

Three string instruments that are typically not found in a standard orchestra are the lute, the viola da gamba, and the harp guitar. The lute is a historical string instrument often associated with Renaissance music, while the viola da gamba is a bowed instrument from the same era, distinguished by its fretted fingerboard. The harp guitar, which combines elements of both the guitar and the harp, is a more modern instrument that rarely appears in orchestral settings.


How do you determine pitch and volume of an instrument?

The pitch in an instrument can be how large or small the instrument is - as in small instruments are pitched higher and big instruments are pitched lower. In woodwind and brass instruments the volume is determined by how hard you blow down the instrument. On the piano it is how hard you press down on the keys. On an orchestral string instrument it is how softly you draw the bow across the strings. On a guitar it is how hard you pluck the strings.
