That's what I believe.
"You want to be *cool* and play like Mr. Wondertuba of the Area Symphony Orchestra, don't you? He plays a big CC tuba -- you should, too, if you want to sound as good as he does!"
Yeah, sure. Social pressure can turn into bigger pressures when multithousand-dollar purchases are at stake.
The bigger difference is playing skill.
