I know of a very fine player here in the states that took a job in Germany.
He had to find a BBb for the gig. Yes, he won the gig on something else. I have heard first hand of guys here in the states getting a job here and the brass section desires a certain size horn. I got my Holton from a guy who won a job here and they didn't want a horn that big. Two guys tie to win a chair. I would think any edge at all at this point would be very important including having very correct equipment. NOT what is correct in your mind, what it considered the most desirable to those doing the hiring. I suggest talking to as many German brass players as possible and using that info to your advantage.
