What are the foreign musical instruments?

This is too much. You should ask which musical instrument originated in China. Now, except for Guqin and Guzheng, which really originated in China, most national musical instruments are imported from abroad. For example, foreign plucked instruments such as guitar and pipa were introduced into China and became pipa, while oboe and China suona actually evolved from the same ancestor. Huqin is like erhu. From the name of Hu, we know that it originated in the west, and the harp was introduced to China, becoming graceful.

Now all the instruments in the band are foreign.

There are string groups: violin, viola, cello and cello duo.

Woodwind instruments: flute, piccolo, clarinet, oboe, English pipe, bassoon.

Copper tubes: trumpet, horn, tuba and trombone.

Percussion instruments: snare drum Jr., drum, timpani, triangle drum, tambourine and cymbal.

The military band is dominated by brass and woodwind instruments. Compared with orchestras, brass pipes are strengthened with baritone, bass trombone and bass tuba. The woodwind has no oboe and bassoon, but saxophone.

Modern jazz bands are all foreign.

In addition to the conventional brass instruments, there are also pianos, saxophones, guitars and turtledoves, and the rhythm group uses double bass to pluck strings and drum sets.

Rock band is mainly composed of electric guitar, synthesizer (electronic organ), drum set and bass.
