Even in Berlin, where you don't play something other than German system, the two principals don't sound the same. If you talk about an "American sound" and include both Marcellus and Wright, you're not narrowing it down that much. It's true that some American orchestras have a particular sound in mind when they audition people, but a really great player with a sound that people aren't entirely used to is still going to find someplace to play. And if you listen to quintet recordings from Europe and the U.S., it can seem like European groups often emphasize blending a lot more than American ones. In lots of European orchestras now, the section might have serious differences in equipment, but you hear a nicely-blended sound. Good players will make it sound right in a section. It's certainly true, though, that if you're auditioning for second, you don't want to play with a sound that's totally different from the principal's.
