What is the highest stringed instrument in an orchistra?

The violin is the highest instrument in a string orchestra. The violins are divided into two sections (1st violins and 2nd violins), the 1st violins usually play the tune and play higher than the 2nd violins. However, the piccolo is the highest instrument in a full orchestra. The difference between a string orchestra and a full orchestra is that the string orchestra has only stringed instruments while a full orchestra has strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion.


How many instruments recorders play in an orchestra?

In an orchestra, recorders typically play a limited role, often as part of a smaller ensemble rather than the full orchestra. The recorder is a woodwind instrument that can play melodies and harmonies, but it is less commonly used compared to other woodwinds like flutes, clarinets, and oboes. In a standard orchestra setting, you might find one or two recorders, especially in pieces that specifically call for them, but they are not part of the core instrumentation.
