That would be the conductor, with the conductor's score.

in an orchestra you should have between 2-10 different instruments i think.......(i only think)
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.
When called for in the score, it could be on the left behind the strings, or on the right behind the cellos. If it is a solo instrument, it will be up next to the conductors podium. Sometimes, in small orchestra pits (at the opera etc.), it can be near the centre. Often, the harp is just placed where it will fit.
No ... it is not a member of any "family", rather it has the distinction of being called "The King of Instruments" for a good many years. The organ has orchestral voices, but cannot sound like an orchestra itself. It's sound is unique only to itself and cannot be compared with any other instrument.
It is technically the only instrument that sounds mostly like a human voice other than the guitar and the only brass instrument with a slide giving the player a disadvantage of playing fast but is good practice and an easy instrument to master. it is really a mixture of trumpet and tuba it is the middle instrument the one keeping the band together!
Let's just say it's on the list as an instrument available for use in the orchestra. However, the piano is not used on every single piece of written music for the orchestra! The piano will be used only at the direction of the composer - it's the composer who specifies which instrument, and how many of each instruments, are used in his/her composition.
