There's no minimum standard, and all orchestral or band instruments are accepted. It's intended to offer a progressive experience for everyone.

Beginners are welcome to join as soon as they are brave enough, but the orchestra caters for a wide variety of players who may stay for years or move on when they have regained confidence, perhaps after many years of not playing.
