The orchestra meant for the theater in Shokiyu is much smaller than orchestras in our world, and is heavily based on wind instruments. They will typically have about 20-40 performers (although large productions will often have more)
A typical makeup includes drums and percussion, fiddles, flutes of all sizes, both side blown and end blown (from the tiny whistle on up to the Shokiyan equivalent of a subcontrabass recorder) and horns (this includes the mighty okina a giant tuba-like instrument that requires two people to play)
