I would agree that a lot is down to the clarinet, but it is definitely possible to learn to adapt the instrument you have to sound like you want it to.
My example - I recently performed in an actor-musician musical (which involved me playing onstage whilst part of the show, dancing, singing, playing etc all at the same time!), and because of the inevitable risk to my vintage R13 I could not play it. Horror of horrors, I had to play on a plastic Yamaha!!!!
To start with I hated the bright sound and it sounded nothing like me playing. Also played really sharp. However, using my nice m/p and ligature (which were worth more than the rest of the clarinet!) I eventually learnt how to change my embouchure so that I was both in tune and had a much more pleasant tone.
Then, 3 months on when the show was over, I had to learn to play my R13 all over again!
