Carlos Casanova plays a 1910 Oscar Oehler original clarinet

YouTube has several performances by the Spanish clarinetist Carlos Casanova playing on one of his three restored original instruments made by Oscar Oehler in 1910. Casanova is a student and associate of Wolfgang Meyer but, judging by the almost complete absence of his name from this list, he appears to be little known in America. A technically and musically outstanding performer, he deserves to be heard. This link pulls up references that are easily followed. To my ears, the old Oscar Oehler instrument sounds every bit as good as those made by Wurlitzer, Leitner and Krauss, S & S and other leading makers of Oehler instruments today. Deep, well focused, vibrant, and clear.

I would venture to say that Boehm clarinet players trying to sound more "Germanic" might set Casanova as a model to copy rather than going for the darkest, most covered sound imaginable.
