Generally, the formation of orchestras in each of four periods can be summarized :Baroque orchestras had from 10 to 30 players, primarily strings.Classical orchestras used 30 to 60 players in four sections: strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion.Romantic orchestras had as many as 100 players or more, and featured greater use of brass and piano.Modern orchestras are a bit smaller than in the Romantic Era (symphony and other very large orchestras still exist). Some may focus on the unique (or even bizarre) sounds of individual instruments.
Some interesting facts about the Xylophone is that it looks very much like a Piano, it was originated in first Asia and then spread to Africa and more, Xylophones and Marimbas are actually 2 different instruments and the Xylophone was first used in Dance Macabre in 1874 by a french composer named Camille Saint-Saens.
The earliest forms of the Xylophone are believed to have originated in both the African and Asian continents, completely independently.
