Not being anything near conservatory level myself, I still havea tiny bit of contact to that milieu in Denmark. I am told that students has has passed that education through the last 25 years (at least) are playing F, Eb, CC, and BBb equally well, not requiring any notice to adapt to the required instrument.

Our royal lifeguard is using one each of F, CC, and BBb in parades.

The 3 major symphs of Copenhagen are using CC’s for the most of the repertory, with the F as the specialty instrument.

During the same period 3 regional pro symphs have used Eb’s as the main instrument, but the tendency has changed towards CC, even if some of the players are still the same.

What happens in neighbouring countries is out of my knowledge except for a very special cases.
