To Dan:

I have a corollary questions. I don't exactly understand your point, to be
truthful.
Are you saying "dark":

1) Cannot be used to describe the sound of the clarinet
2) Can never be used, if it can be defined with the same precision that
apply to other relative words describing sound (fortissimo vs. pianissimo)
3) Any description, however accurate, still would not be useful in teaching,
learning, or understanding the clarinet
4) None of the above
5) All of the above.

Part of the debate here is how words like these are used, and in what
context.

I believe you are saying the word "dark" should never be used, casually or
formally, in private or in public. Am I correct?

Bill
