<P> The instrumentation varies greatly and three kinds exist . </P> <P> In the original Off - Broadway production, the instrumentation was simply a piano, a bass, and percussion . It can be heard on the original cast recording . </P> <P> When Tams - Witmark acquired the rights to Charlie Brown, the orchestration was rewritten from the original version . The complete orchestration contained a piano, bass, guitar, percussion, five woodwind parts, two trumpets, horn, trombone, and strings . The piano player can also be doubled on celeste, toy piano, and melodica; the first woodwind plays flute and piccolo; the second is the second flute part; the third and fourth are the first and second clarinet parts respectively; the fifth on bass clarinet and tenor sax . Any guitar, horn, and string parts (excluding bass) were all optional . </P> <P> When Charlie Brown was brought back to Broadway in 1999, the orchestration was deeply revised, containing a five - piece orchestra which consists of a piano, bass, percussion, a woodwind player, and a violinist . The piano player can double on keyboard synthesizer and kazoo; the bass player doubles on electric and acoustic bass, tenor recorder, and kazoo (in the original Broadway pit the bass player also doubled on acoustic and electric guitar); the woodwind part doubles on piccolo, flute, clarinet, soprano and alto sax, soprano recorder, and kazoo; the violin part also doubles on viola, alto recorder, kazoo, and tambourine . This version is also available through Tams - Witmark . </P>
