The clarinet is surely still evolving, compared to things like string instruments. The bore of the upper joint: what shape should it be? Can we do funky things with the barrel bore? How do we voice that darned throat Bb? Can we do away with that big gap between the holes around the middle joint? How can we stretch the range higher in a pleasant, consistent manner? And every year sees a new crop of reed and mouthpiece designs. Bass is even less mature. How shall we provide a register key? How many notes shall we have?
To answer the original question (kind of): my hunch is that the reverse taper on the top half of the instrument is very interesting, and that the polycylindrical thing is just the beginning in this respect.
