What instruments are not in a symphony orchestra?

Answer 1

Any instrument can be included in the orchestra provided the composer has written a part for it. It's the composer of the piece who determines which and how many of each instrument is required to perform his or her works.

Answer 2

Brass instruments vary from orchestra to orchestra.

Almost all orchestras have about four trumpets, three trombones, and four French horns. These numbers are approximate, and these players have harmony or counter-melody parts in comparison with the strings.

Many orchestras will have a tuba on a part similar to the double bass.

Some will have a euphonium or a baritone, but they generally play the Trombone part anyway.

Orchestras pretty much never have flugelhorns or mellophones. Even though it's technically a woodwind, they also usually lack saxophones.

Answer 3

Just about any percussion instrument imaginable has been used in orchestra at one time or another. That said, the primary orchestral percussion instruments are the timpani, snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, and triangle.

Answer 4

Instruments not commonly found would be more like a tabla, Bagpipes, alp horns, sitar ect.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Guitars, africn drums, drum kit (although snare and timpanis accepted), synths, generally the more unusual/not as classic ones
