OK, OK. Get it over with!!! Set up a committee of 20 currently
professional players, 20 retired professional players, 20 amateurs, 20
professional musicians that are not clarinet players. Have 20 or more
performers play for them, live or via current recordings, with all
judges in the same room, at the same time, with an explanation that they
are to judge tones as to whether they are on the bright side or the dark
side.

Everyone on this list knows what 'dark', 'bright', 'edgy', 'smooth',
'rough', 'reedy', 'British', 'French', 'German', 'Austrian',etc, etc.
Lets get it done and assign a word or several words to the tonal
characteristics of which you are in dispute.
