One minor adjustment for bass sections (I only know about amateur
orchestras, but I should be surprised if professionals in the same
situation differed): some bass sections have a mix of standard four-
string instruments, four-string with extension to C, and five-string
(bottom string usually tuned to C in the US, B in Europe) and in a
2-part divisi in which the lower part goes below E (usually octaves),
each player takes a part that his instrument can play, irrespective of
seating.
