All four of the musical family groups are included in the orchestra. They are: 1) strings (violins, viola, cello, string bass and harp), 2) woodwind (flute, Clarinet, oboe, bassoon), 3) brass (Trumpet, french horn, Trombone, occasionally tuba) and 4) percussion (most commonly timpani, and other percussion instruments as the composer requires).
