The pay varies widely in symphony orchestras. Many small towns have orchestras that pay "per service" (meaning per rehearsal or performance). Larger cities generally have salaried orchestras that range in pay based on prestige and budget. A third tier orchestra (Buffalo, Oregon, North Carolina) generally pays in the $30,000-50,000 range and up to the "big five" orchestras (Cleveland, Chicago, New York, Boston, Philadelphia) which have starting salaries around $110,000.
A full-size orchestra consists of about one hundred musicians, who play instruments in the string, brass, woodwind, and percussion sections. There are also chamber orchestras, which are smaller and consist of fifty musicians or fewer.
A symphony orchestra contains about 80 to 100musicians.A chamber orchestra will have about fifty or less.
This depends on the following factors: -The orchestra -What the person plays -Ther position in the orchestra It is hard to give a range, but typically (at least where I live) orchestra players cannot live off of the wage they receive from being in the orchestra. To make enough money to live, they must teach, be a solo performer, etc.

No, a piano is an instrument. An orchestra is an ensemble of different kind of instruments. The piano does not have a place in the average orchestra. It may however play with an orchestra in a concerto. Pianists can also play arrangements of orchestral pieces.

In an average symphony orchestra, the trumpets are part of the entire brass section, which is located in the very back rows of the orchestra. Hope that helps!
