I don't know if it's still the case, but the Cleveland Orchestra used a bass drum that was larger and tuned lower than what's typically used.....
The Cleveland Orchestra and NHK Symphony also use rotary valve trumpets for mainly German and Austrian composers.....
Most American orchestras use 4-string basses, a lot of European orchestras use 5-string basses....
The Vienna horns used by Vienna's orchestras (not just the VPO), the valve keys are shorter in length, and the action on the tubing is a "dual piston", located opposite the keys. (French horns use rotary valves.) The horns also have interchangeable lead pipes ("crooks") of varying tube length (loops) for playing in different keys.
