I know that having just two players in a strings section isn't considered a good idea, and that you need at least three players to make it sound like a cohesive group instead of just separate players. But a2 sections are common with brass and especially woodwinds. My main woodwinds library (SSW) uses a2 sections for all but a few instruments like the piccolo and contrabassoon. And SSB has several a2 brass sections as well.
What about brass and woodwinds make it acceptable to use a2 sections? And what about string instruments makes it not work well in a2 string sections?
