Answer 2

Oboes sit directly in the center of the orcheastra, a map can be found at http://www.oebs.org/page/ypc-edu-pack/image-edu-pack/orchestra.jpg

Answer 3

It sometimes depends on where your conductor wants the oboe players to sit, but oboes are normally in the middle.

Answer 4

Organs are usually fixed in place, so the rest of the ensemble has to fit itself around it.
