strings
In a standard orchestra, the string family typically has the largest group of players. This section usually includes first and second violins, violas, cellos, and double basses, often numbering around 30 to 40 musicians in total. The abundance of strings provides a rich, full sound that is essential to orchestral music. Other families, such as woodwinds, brass, and percussion, have significantly fewer players.
That size range fits a chamber orchestra.
The percussion section has more different instruments than other sections.Strings: Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass, Harp.Woodwinds: Piccolo, Flute, Oboe, English Horn, Clarinet, , Bassoon, sometimes Saxophone.Brass: Trumpet, Trombone, Horn, TubaPercussion: Piano, Snare drum, Bass drum, Bells, Chimes, Cymbals, Tam-tam, Xylophone, and others.But in terms of the number of each instrument, as well as the number of players, the string section has far more than the other sections. More than half the players in an orchestra are string players.
