As Norman wrote, it can't simply be a matter of bore size. Consider all the fabulous British/Australian players who (at least until relatively recently) managed to sound wonderful both live and on recordings using their large-bore Boosey & Hawkes clarinets.

There are SO many factors, but ultimately, we all tend to mess around with equipment (reeds, mouthpieces, instruments, even ligatures) until we attain or at least come close to the tonal character we WANT to achieve. In other words, the trends (fads?) in clarinet sound are really the product of changes in players' tonal concept, rather than the equipment. I think.
