I think the solution lies in treating each of the parameters as independent variables and then changing the variables to see what affect it has on the tone quality.

This is what Johan Nilsson did in his response above. He stated that changing the mouthpiece/reed combination had more of an affect on tone quality than changing the clarinet. His statement comes extremely close in meaning to my linked article at the top of this thread. This is what I was looking for but I failed to see that numerical parameters could not actually be assigned to the variables as to their influence on tone quality.

Yes, Johan, the mouthpiece and reed should have been treated as a single variable. However, I have read that an outstanding mouthpiece coupled with a terrible reed will still sound better than a terrible mouthpiece coupled with an outstanding reed. The two need to be optimized for the best quality sound.

So, my conclusion is to say that changing the mouthpiece and then mating it with an optimal reed will have more change on the tone quality than changing any other parameter.

This concludes my little quest for a knowledge verification that I needed.

My thanks to all of you for edifying me and for your patience in my slowness to understand the complexity of what I was originally seeking.
