The smallest orchestral stringed instrument is the Violin. The size of stringed instruments, from smallest to largest, is as follows:
Violin
Viola
Cello
Double Bass
The piccolo, which is a small version of the flute. Some might say the piccolo since it is quite small. However, there are so many percussion instruments that it is hard to tell which might be the smallest. I would think that castanets might be considered the smallest instrument in the orchestra. They are typically about the size of the palm of your hand.
The harp is a solo string instrument, BUT it belongs to the percussion family in the orchestra, as it is used mostly for special effects.
By numbers, it's the string section. A full-sized orchestra has around 60 string players
The violin is the smallest member of the string family.
The Double Bass.

The right answer is Mandolin
The Double Bass.
A viola is a string instrument, not a percussion instrument, and therefore it is used in an orchestra.
yes
It depends on the orchestra. Symphony orchestra- no. Ethnic orchestra- might be.
In a string orchestra, an orchestra with violin, cello, viola, and bass, the bass is the largest and lowest instrument. However, if you were looking for the largest string instrument in a full orchestra, the piano would be the instrument for which you are looking.
The violin is the highest instrument in a string orchestra. The violins are divided into two sections (1st violins and 2nd violins), the 1st violins usually play the tune and play higher than the 2nd violins. However, the piccolo is the highest instrument in a full orchestra. The difference between a string orchestra and a full orchestra is that the string orchestra has only stringed instruments while a full orchestra has strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion.
