In the video, I was playing it on the old clarinet with an old reed and an old ligature, which accounted for some of the sound/tuning differences. Maybe I'll record another video today with the setup I'm using now.

On my newer clarinets, with a Vandoren Optimum ligature, a Vandoren traditional 2.5 reed (did the one you tried require soft reeds? I might also try V12 3s), and a Clark Fobes barrel, it definitely has the strong tone and flexibility you describe, and it tunes pretty well, maybe slightly sharp if anything. I haven't had the chance to try playing it in an ensemble yet, as I'm afraid my conductors will glare at me if it starts chirping :P

The only major issue with it is the chirping, which Clark Fobes is going to assess and see if he can fix. He seems to think it's probably a problem with the tip or the side rails, not the fact that the table is slightly concave, as I was guessing.
