If you want to get a job in germany you have to play rotary tubas : F and BBb german style
tubas( this is a must);
the difference between piston and rotary tuba is ,first of all, the sound that is really less wide but more focused, and second ,the articulation on rotary tuba is more clear;
these are the characteristic wanted in german style orchestras.
So I suggest you to have all the right tools (once more...F and BBb g.s.tuba) to can find a job in germany ,or you will lose a lot of time.....
It is more easy to play in german style with rotary tubas instead with piston tubas (that's all)

So good job
