Why couldn't an experiment be devised where a clarinet player is given some material to play and a wooden clarinet then the player would switch his mpc to a plastic clarinet and a recorder could record the sounds waves produced by the 2 instruments. Since the player's embouchure wouldn't change and the mouthpiece and reed wouldn't change, I would think what you'd be measuring in the delta between the 2 recordings would be the instrument itself.

I have a plastic B12 I play all the time (tonal exercises at lunch, mainly). I don't notice it being different when I play it. The clarinet I practice material on is a C13 (wood, also Buffet). I don't notice it being different either when I play it. But if I play the C13 for an hour or so, and then switch to the B12 (using same mpc and reed), I can hear the difference. The C13 has a different mix of resonating frequencies.
