​"Knock Three Times" by Tony Orlando and Dawn, released in 1970, features a catchy, upbeat pop sound that incorporates a variety of instruments typical of the era's production style. Some of the key instruments used in the song include:

1. Acoustic Guitar: The acoustic guitar provides a rhythmic foundation and sets the groove of the song, particularly in the verses. It adds a light, driving rhythm that complements the catchy melody.
   
2. Electric Guitar: An electric guitar is used to provide melodic accents and add texture, helping to fill out the sound and contribute to the song's pop flavor.
   
3. Drums/Percussion: The drums are important for establishing the rhythm and pacing of the song. The drumming is fairly straightforward, with a light and steady beat that drives the song without overpowering the melody. There’s also the use of handclaps, which add to the song's fun and engaging vibe.
   
4. Bass Guitar: The bass provides the underlying foundation for the rhythm section, helping to anchor the song's groove. It plays a supportive role in maintaining the song's smooth, feel-good flow.
   
5. Brass Section (Trumpets, Trombones): A brass section is prominently featured, giving the song a lively and slightly playful touch. The horns add to the energetic, danceable feel, particularly during the chorus.
   
6. Strings (Violin/Cello): Strings provide additional richness to the overall arrangement, adding a sense of fullness and warmth, particularly during the more melodic portions of the song.
   
7. Keyboards/Organ: The keyboard or organ (often used in pop and soul music of that time) contributes to the harmonic backdrop and helps fill out the texture of the song.
   

The instrumental arrangement is fun, catchy, and upbeat, helping to create the cheerful and engaging feel of "Knock Three Times." The mix of acoustic, electric, brass, and percussion instruments gives the song a dynamic pop sound that has made it an enduring classic.
