Answer 2

1. orchestra (a musical organization consisting of a group of instrumentalists including string players)

2. orchestra (seating on the main floor in a theater)

A smaller orchestra (of about forty players or less) is called a chamber orchestra.A full size orchestra (about 100 players) may sometimes be called a "symphony orchestra" or "philharmonic orchestra";

The actual number of musicians employed in a particular performance may vary according to the work being played, and the size of the venue.

A leading chamber orchestra might employ as many as fifty members; some are much smaller than that.

Woodwinds: piccolo, 2 flutes*, 2 oboes*, English horn, 2 clarinets*, Bass Clarinet, 2 bassoons*, contrabassoon

Brass: 2* to 8 French horns*, 2* to 5 trumpets*, 2 to 3 trombones, 1 to 2 bass trombones, tuba

Percussion: timpani*, snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, celesta, piano, etc.

Strings: harp(s), 16 to 30 violins*, 8 to 12 violas*, 8 to 12 violoncellos*, and 5 to 8 double basses*.

Occasionally, an orchestra will feature notable wind ensemble instruments, such as the euphonium, the Saxophone, the alto Clarinet, and the baritone horn.

Instruments marked with an asterisk are considered the "core" symphonic instruments, and only in rarest of cases are not called for in most symphonic literature. Other instruments listed above are considered "auxiliary" instruments and are less frequently required, but still referred to as "standard".

For a small orchestra there are about 40 players. But in a full one then there are about 100 players!
