I know of a prominant female clarinet player who used Red nail polish to
adjust tuning. When asked why...she liked the red color against the
black wood!

Black polish gives a strong, dark tone
Clear sounds colorless--leave it alone
Get a fat, ripe tone from Passionate Peach
Careful with Silver--it can screech
For classical sound: Venetian White
And Lemon makes tone-color bright
For the cutting edge, choose Vivid Lime
Bronze Bombshell helps you beat the time
For resonant warmth, use rosy hues
You can guess what helps you play the blues
