Brass instruments vary from orchestra to orchestra.
Almost all orchestras have about four trumpets, three trombones, and four French horns. These numbers are approximate, and these players have harmony or counter-melody parts in comparison with the strings.
Many orchestras will have a tuba on a part similar to the double bass.
Some will have a euphonium or a baritone, but they generally play the Trombone part anyway.
Orchestras pretty much never have flugelhorns or mellophones. Even though it's technically a woodwind, they also usually lack saxophones.

∙ 13y agoThe Instruments in the brass section of an orchestra are:
- Trumpet
- French horn
- Trombone (including bass trombone)
- Tuba
Other brass instruments that are in bands include the: cornet (like a trumpet, but with a mellower sound); alto horn (usually pitched in F, but sometimes in E-flat); Baritone horn (in B-flat, brighter than the euphonium); and the Euphonium (similar to the baritone, but a mellower sound).
Sometimes, an orchestra's music will call for cornets and trumpets. Typically, the cornets play melodies while the trumpets are used for fanfare effect.
Sometimes, an orchestra's music will call for a euphonium, but this is rare.
The Saxophone, while its body is made of brass, is a member of the woodwind family. Saxophones are almost never included in orchestras simply because they were invented way after most orchestra music was written! Look for saxes in bands.

∙ 10y agoA symphony orchestra brass section usually includes 3 trumpets, 4 French Horns, 2 or 3 trombones, and one tuba.
This sometimes changes depending on what music the orchestra is playing; music from Beethoven's era and earlier does not include tubas, for example.
And the exact number of each instrument may be different because the composer of a piece of music specified a different number. For example, Khatchaturian wrote one of his symphonies with parts for 15 (fifteen) additional trumpets besides the usual 3.
