Summer of Lore #19: The Theater Orchestra in Shokiyu

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)
