The order of instruments in an orchestral score is traditionally arranged in four groups: woodwind, brass, percussion and strings, in that order, downwards. The woodwind instruments are arranged by the length of the instrument, beginning with the shortest (piccolo) at the top, followed by flutes, oboes, clarinets and bassoons. The brass section traditionally begins with the horns, followed by trumpets and trombones. The percussion usually includes two or more kettledrums (timpani), and perhaps a side-drum, cymbals, etc. in no specific order. The strings, like the woodwind, are arranged by size, startiing with the violins (the smallest) in two groups, first and second (normally 16 first and 14 second violins) followed by violas, cellos and basses.
