When performing "The Song of Magic", a theater requires a small orchestra and a chorus of about 20 speakers and singers (this includes the speaker for the large puppets if the puppeteers nor the minstrel that narrates are performing the voices.
At the very least, the orchestra for this play will have about 30 performers (most of them percussionists), but an orchestra with up to 70 performers is not unheard of.
For our purposes, the orchestra has 60 performers:
--half of that is percussion (eg. drums, bells, small rhythm instruments, and various tuned percussion)
--Of the remaining 30, 15 are strings (fiddles, harps, lutes, etc.) and the other 15 are wind instruments (flutes,whistles, horns, and an okina pair)
