It makes sense, though, that if you admire a particular sound and would
like to emulate it, you'd stand a better chance if you use equipment
that is capable of producing that sound.

I think that it is misleading to suggest that playing the same
mouthpiece can or will give you the same tone as someone else who plays
the same mouthpiece.

For example, if I knew exactly which mouthpiece Richard Stoltzman
uses, I think my chances of reproducing his tone (or anything near it)
would be zero.... and this includes even if I used the same barrel and
reed and clarinet body as he does.

Cheers,
Bill
