Best Answer

Drums and some older instruments are very loud without amplification, before amplifiers they would use several violins (or people singing) so they could be herd when the drums and louder instruments were playing. Guitars and Pianos/Keyboards are not as loud and the only way they can be heard with the drums, horns and other things is to amplify them or have several of the same instrument playing the same thing at once.
