Our opera director liked the sound so much he asked what made my playing different from my section mates. Seeing that we are all pretty equal talent-wise, I told him it must be that I was using a C clarinet where it was indicated. He wants to rent C's for the other players for the season. He said he didn't realize that C clarinet could make that much difference!
