Have you tried changing the outside dimensions without changing the
inside? I've seen one German clarinet maker do this. It was at the
Frankfurt Musikmesse (music trade fair) he had normal - looking barrels
and one shaped like a tulip. He told me it made a "darker, more
Viennese-like" sound.

barrels (changing only the outside) and was astounded at the results. I
have control barrels without the changes - the difference is there.

If this can be proven true (careful measurements of the interior +
spectral graph), then what does it say about the material of the entire
instrument?
