The triangle really is up to date. In German according to the Duden it can be used with all three genders although colloquially it is usually considered female – as are other percussion instruments like cymbals, drums, bells, rattles, fiddles …
Within the orchestra the triangle is used to add highlights to the sound; due to its penetrating tone it is only used sparingly for accentuation. If occasionally the sound in the Elbphilharmonie is less moderate, the audience can demand suitable ear protection at the visitors service – they will be issued free of charge because some events may damage health and hearing in particular due to their hight sound volume. The relevant paragraph is part of the house rules under the keyword „Schallpegel“ (noise level).
