<Sigh> That just brings us back to the old argument about sound. Does it
emanate from the clarinet or the clarinetist?

Does Leister/Wurlitzer sound different from Combs/Buffet because Leister
sounds different than Combs or the Wurlitzer sounds different than the
Buffet?

I've always preferred "woody" ;-)
