Re: Sweeter, darker, larger sound?

you could also use a harder reed.. which will get you there because you will have to blow harder and it will definitely bring you a larger and darker sound.

however that is also a very very dangerous path, and i wouldn't recommend it (except if currently you are using a very soft reed, which doesn't seem to be the case).

also keep in mind that what sounds to you doesn't necessarily sound the same to your audiences.. especially if you are in a big orchestra. sometimes a brighter sound will actually project much better than a covered, completely dark sound.

just my two cents.
