In numbers 2 and 4, the instrumental lines are unlabelled, but go down to G below middle C, and A below middle C, respectively. This rules out flute or oboe as the treble instrument. Violin is the most likely possibility. In no.6, the 2 "piccolo flauto" lines do not play at the same time as the traverso, so undoubtedly the traverso player would have taken one of the piccolo flauto lines, meaning that this could be done with 8 players.
