The baroque orchestra primarily used which three instrument families?.

Below:

Explanation:

1. An orchestra is a large instrumental ensemble with sections of strings, brass, woodwind, and sometimes percussion. It is usually directed by a conductor. A Baroque orchestra was sometimes directed from the harpsichord.

2. The continuo (or basso continuo) part was usually played on the harpsichord or organ. The instruments were used in the harmonies and for holding the ensemble together. The bassline was often played by the cello or bassoon. The harpsichord is a keyboard instrument where the strings are plucked rather than hammered.

3. The Baroque orchestra was relatively small (a small orchestra is known as a chamber orchestra). The orchestra was still evolving during the Baroque period. At first, there were no set instruments, but as the 17th century progressed, the orchestra began to take shape.
