Untuned percussion instruments in the orchestra are those that do not produce a definite pitch when played. Examples include instruments like the snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, tambourine, maracas, and triangle. They primarily contribute to rhythm, texture, and color in orchestral music rather than melody. These instruments add dynamic effects and enhance the overall sound of the ensemble.
