    What instrument gives pitch to the orchestra?

    The Gorm

    		The oboe (an A I think)

    		The Gorm is right. Normally an oboe plays an A to tune the orchestra. If the performance is for piano and orchestra, though, the piano provides the note. (It would be impossible to retune the piano).
