hopefully i am not going to be talking a foreign language to you with all this theory i am about to throw at you. as a grade 7 pianist i have a very good ear for music. to answer your question which is a very sensible one, different instruments make different sounds and different pitches such as Bass Treble Melodie and tremolo. also the sound is different and many instruments together make a very rich sound. piano sounds different from the violin as the strings are played differently. also the harp, harpsichord and the guitar sound different. they are all used in different ways for different styles such as rock and romantic. so over the years instruments were developed to pamper to the needs of the composers at that time and have been brought into modern day from history. No doubt more will be invented in the future.

Violinist who sits at the front near the conductor?
String instruments sit at the front of the orchestra because of the volume/intensity of the sound that they are able to produce compared to the brass, woodwind, and percussion. If the strings were to be placed behind the band, then the audience would have a hard time hearing the string instruments, because band instruments generally produce louder sounds than string instruments. It is because of the volume balance that sometimes even the string instruments are rearranged. In example, sometimes the violas and the cellos switch places because the cellos play to softly, or because the violas play too loudly, or because of both.
