The Bb Oboe

I feel inspired by the last thread, yet I am fully aware that the following might cause discomfort and irritation among woodwinders worldwide, so please read the following with an open mind...

I am a humble clarinetist with slow fingers and tongue so I think it would be wise to stick with my (Marigaux) clarinet. Yet the sound of the oboe haunts me and for some time I have this gnarly idea of sacrificing an old clarinet mouthpiece and use some filler and epoxy and other odd ingredients to create a fake crown for an oboe reed assembly, to use on my clarinet (I know the reverse has been done).

I think this is more an academic question (why would I want to go through all the reed-making hassle?), but - how would that sound like? More like a clarinet or more like an oboe?
