The piccolo is the smallest and highest pitched of all of the orchestral instruments. The bassoon is the largest and lowest-sounding standard orchestral woodwind; the tuba is the largest, lowest-sounding orchestral brass instrument; and the double-bass is the lowest-pitched stringed orchestral instrument.

The highes instrument is the piccolo. These are the lowest instruments: the the tuba in brass; the double bass or string bass for strings; the contrabassoon for woodwinds; and the bass drum for percussion. There are also many extremely low woodwinds (e.g. the subcontrabasss saxophone or Tubax; contrabass clarinet), but these are hardly ever used in the orchestra.
