Question:
Does anyone know how many of each instrument there is in an orchestra?
I need to know how many flutes, xylophones, violins and trumpets there is in an orchestra. I know it depends on what type of music is being played, but any answers fine. Although the amount of instruments used in classical is preferred. Thank you.
