Do you mean acoustical instruments?
If so, here are two popular ones used in orchestration classes
"Orchestration" by Walter Piston
"The Technique of Orchestration" by Kent Wheeler Kennan

"The Study of Orchestration" - Samuel Adler
W.W. Norton & Company
ISBN 0-393-95807-8
It's a pretty good book, especially for someone new to orchestration as
it goes into a lot of detail about tone production in general and on
various instruments. It also comes with a CD (optionally?) which
contains (all?) musical examples in the book.

'Music, Physics and Engineering' by Harry F Olson.

A fantastic book ;)

Greetings:
A. Blatter's "Instrumentation And Orchestration" is my favorite. He
indicates the normal ranges for each instrument, further dividing the
representation into the expected ranges for high-school, collegiate, and
professional players. IMO a much more useful reference book than
Piston's (though I recommend Piston's Harmony to my students).
Best,
