∙ 14y agoWell, the stringed instruments in an orchestra are the violin, cello, viola, and bass. The violins are often broken up into two sections: first violins and second violins. A string orchestra is composed of these five sections (first violin, second violin, viola, cello, and bass), while a full orchestra is composed of all of the strings plus woodwinds, brass and percussion. I hope this answers your question.
