Line 3: [[File:Chicago Symphony Orchestra 2005.jpg\|thumb\|upright=1.4\|The [[Chicago Symphony Orchestra]] performing with a jazz group. The string sections are at the front of the orchestra, arrayed in a semicircle around the [[conducting\|conductor's]] podium.]] The '''string section''' of an [[orchestra]] is composed of bowed instruments belonging to the [[violin family]]. It normally consists of first and second [[violin]]s, [[viola]]s, [[cello]]s, and [[double bass]]es. It is the most numerous group in the standard [[orchestra]]. In discussions of the [[Orchestration\|instrumentation]] of a musical work, the phrase "the strings" or "and strings" is used to indicate a string section as just defined. An orchestra consisting solely of a string section is called a [[string orchestra]]. Smaller string sections are sometimes used in jazz, pop, and rock music and in the [[pit orchestra]]s of [[musical theatre]]. ==Seating arrangement==
