I am just a students, but in my experiences, it isn't so much dark or
bright, but focus. If you have a focused sound that is in tune, it has a
tendency to cary much better. For example, my teacher, Mr. Grant (principal
clarinet of the Rochester Phil) has a rather dark sound, yet it still
projects. On the flip side, Mitchell Lurie has a much brighter sound but it
projects too. The common thread here is a focused sound
