What are the names of musical instruments? the actual words "musical instrument" and the members of an orchestra, rock band, and other typse of groups?

Musical Instruments = Gakki or 楽器
Japanese Musical Instuments = WaGakki or 和楽器

There is no Japanese word for Western Musical Instruments so that almost every name is in Kata-kana.

Piano = Piano or ピアノ
Violin = Bai-o-rin or バイオリン（or ヴァイオリン）
Viola = Bi-o-ra or ヴィオラ
Saxophone = sakkusu or サックス

Guiter = gitaa or ギター
