Now this is an interesting question!

My opinion is:

maybe
sometimes
perhaps

My students are always striving for the dark sound they hear on a
recording of David Shifrin or Karl Leister, not knowing that the recording
engineer had a great deal to do with helping to produce a particular tone,
or that they use such different equipment from what the students are
using. Everybody will have their own sound....be it slightly brighter or
darker, etc. They will also have their own distinctive approach to
combination of technique, articulation, sound production, and blending of
musicianship.....and this is, in my opinion, what makes it all interesting
to begin with! So, while I cannot always tell who is who, I sometimes
can - and I like being able to.
