The Instruments of Orchestra




The modern orchestra is devided into four distinct groups. The first group is the strings. Their sound is produced by vibrating string or wires. Woodwind instruments make up the second section of an orchestra. 

These instruments, such as flutes, piccolos, and oboes,  make their sound by the player blowing into a mouthpiece and opening and closing hole in the instrument. 

The third section is the brass section, whose instruments make sounds by the vibration of the player’s lips on a mouthpiece. Examples of brass instruments are bugles, tumpets, and tubas. Example of string instrumens are violins, cellos, and basses. 



The last section of an orchestra is the percussion section. The sound of these instruments is made by hitting them. Examples o fpercussion instruments include cymbals, drums, and tambourines. When put together, these four groups of instruments make a complete orchestra.
