That has been my experience atleast with less professional groups. Meeting a groups expectations is often times much more important than what is actually most musically appropriate. I walk in with an F tuba and the trumpet players freak out. They feel like they are left out to hang and their intonation goes completely wack. I bring my big CC and everything is A-okay. I suppose I should have taken them at their word when they said they wanted to sound like the CSO brass quintet.
