This infobox is for orchestras. It was created after a discussion in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music in March 2013.
Usage edit
All fields are optional and should only be used as necessary. The field |type=, if not specified, defaults to "Orchestra"; if no entry is required, |type=<nowiki /> will suppress the default.
Separate multiple values using {{Flatlist}} or {{Plainlist}}.
Locations: For "United States" and "United Kingdom", it is preferred that they be abbreviated "U.S." and "UK", but political subdivisions should never be (never "MA" for "Massachusetts", "ON" for "Ontario", etc.). See Notes[1] for details.
