Eleven to fourteen brass instruments will be found in the orchestra. The brass family usually sits across the back of the orchestra. The HORN is in the back row of the orchestra, behind the bassoons and clarinets. The horn is a very long brass tube wrapped around in a circle several times.

There exists in the orchestra repertoire a bulk of works which include the use of an organ. ... Orchestral instruments can adjust their dynamics to achieve balance, and instrumental composers have an intimate knowledge of their capabilities; therefore, their dynamic range is sufficient for what is asked of them.

Also, the string section usually has the most notes and highest percentage of melody, so it would make sense to put them in front, where they are visible–both to the audience and to each other–and have the best chance of being heard. ... Absil, so for the most precise ensemble playing, the strings need to be in the front.

Orchestras always tune to 'A', because every string instrument has an 'A' string. The standard pitch is A=440 Hertz (440 vibrations per second). Some orchestras favor a slightly higher pitch, like A=442 or higher, which some believe results in a brighter sound.

The composers and conductors were unwilling to fight with the orchestra members, and the orchestral saxophone was cast aside. So, the next time you see a saxophone in an orchestra, remember that its presence in the ensemble is a very contentious issue.

For a low-level professional orchestra (all pros, but not top tier), if you are looking at 60 players with three rehearsals and a performance, at an estimated $600.00 per player (more for the principals), we are talking at least $40,000.00.

The brass family members that are most commonly used in the orchestra include the trumpet, French horn, trombone, and the tuba.

Since the 1960s, music theatre companies have reinforced the sound of the orchestra by placing microphones on instruments and amplifying them through a public address system. While this results in a louder sound, it may not correctly reproduce the ensemble sound and instrument tone.

Trumpets come in many keys, French horn and tuba both generally in two each*. To keep the number of written accidentals (sharps and flats) to a minimum for ease of reading, an instrument in, say, B-flat (sounding) is written in C, which has no accidentals. So that's why.

Usually, a band does not use instruments of the string family. In some cases, bands that do use string (mainly cello, bass, piano, or harp) instruments are called symphonic bands.
