No, this might be true, as most German music competitions include international awardees, but not so much the other way round. I'm under the impression that a German system player will find enough competitions (and audience, I suppose) locally for them to not go much farther than Europe, and that'd aleary exlude france and the eastern parts, as they have a rather different sort of artists.

There's a 16-year-old incredibely talented girl visiting our concert band rehearsals regurlarly, whos going to study very soon, and for her, going abroad is out of the question, but there's probably no need to anyways. She recently got her L&K Full Oehlers. On the other hand, I know a few eastern european clarinetists who studied here - and now, one American, who's quite unhappy about other orchestral musicians' disregard towards his Boehm instruments.
A "superstar" like Fröst does seem to get around the globe more frequently than an A. Ottensamer.
These are the examples I could think of, but ultimately, I can't say for sure. Generally speaking, the broad rejection of the Boehm system in professional enviroments leads to clarinet sections being not that internationally occupied - see Berliner Philarmoniker for example. While competitions aren't limited to Oehler players, orchestra seats are, which I find quite disheartening.

Which leads me BTT: The Yamaha Boehm clarinets are crazy good for their money and will aid in the development of young artists. The girl I mentioned was extremely lucky that her parents invested about 12k€ for a set of acceptable pro clarinets, while anyone else can win prizes with instruments for less than half of that.
