Best Answer

I just finished playing through this piece in college. The original orchestration contains the following instruments:

One Piccolo

One Flute

Two oboes

Two Clarinets (in A)

Two Bassoons

Four French Horns (in G and E)

Two Trumpets (in E)

Three Trombones

Timpani

Triangle

Bass Drum

Cymbals

Strings

There are other arrangements of this piece that exist for different instrumentation, however, this orchestration is of the most well-known original copy of William Tell Overture by Gioachino Rossini.

Orchestral instruments, and sound effects that simulate a cannon (or sometimes a real cannon) being fired towards the end of the piece.
