Okay, cool. Makes sense. I have a Selmer HS*, Claude Humber "Hand Faced," and a Vandoren BD5 all coming my way (thanks Ebay!), but I've also been looking at other more "boutique" pieces -- Hawkins "B" & "R," Gennusa, Grabner, Fobes, etc. Are any of the above generally considered too dark? I really liked the tone from the Hawkins "R" on the Hawkins website, which is described as a dark (or maybe "darker" anyway) piece. Would that be considered "covered" as well?
I gotta say, the one major difference I've noticed between saxophonists and clarinetists is that sax players post tons of samples on YouTube, SoundCloud, etc, while finding clarinet recordings where the gear is explicitly listed in the video, title, or description (other than sponsored videos for mass-produced pieces, e.g. Vandoren) is much more difficult.
I'm looking for a more classical leaning sound for now. The Jody and Metalite are more than enough for any jazz playing I might do, but the extent of my clarinet playing, at least for the time being, will be with another clarinetist for church music, or maybe with my church bell choir.
