Problems of intonation are more noticeable with smaller sections. Smaller sections (less than 12) will sound weak at the extreme top of the range and will have more of an intimate chamber sound. A typical 20 piece studio ensemble might consist of 6, 6, 4, 4. Arco (bowed) passages would sound muddy, and pizzicato (plucked) as played by orchestral players would obstruct the feel or groove of an electric bass or a jazz double bass. Smaller ensembles would use a similar ratio (12, 10, 8, 6, 4 – 8, 6, 4, 3, 2) In pop and commercial music the basses will often be omitted as their role is covered in the rhythm section. a large orchestral ensemble may consist of 16 first violins, 14 seconds, 12 violas, 10 cellos and 8 basses (16, 14, 12, 10, 8). There are conventions as to the ratios of the different strings e.g. The string section consists of violins (1st & 2nd), violas, ‘cellos (or ‘celli) and double basses.
