There is a relatively thin range of what most of us would consider a
"good" clarinet sound (with some additional leeway on the jazz side of
things). The variation in tone is really much narrower that what a
group of trumpet players or saxophonists would find acceptable.
(Indeed, from recordings it's hard to know if Marcel Mule and Sigurd
Rascher were even playing the same instrument). Within that narrow
range we find our "absolutes."
