Great idea, but also consider the difficulty of the key you are writing in.
For example don't write difficult parts across the break for clarinets.
One thing that drives me nuts, is that a lot of the music our church orchestra uses was written by people who never played a clarinet, or never consulted with a clarinet player when writing the clarinet parts. These days it's too easy to pop out music on a midi keyboard, and then punch the transpose button to convert it to the different parts. What works for violin, probably won't work as well for clarinet, etc.
One reason Mozart's Clarinet Concerto is so good, and so popular, is that he actually talked with Stadler. It is possible to write something that sounds good
and is not overly difficult to play if you put some thought into it and talk to people who play the instruments involved.
