This was the topic of frequent discussions here and on the Klarinet listserve. The major (but by no means the only) opponent of using any of those words was (the late) Dan Gleeson. Your comment is exactly why those words should generally be avoided in any serious discussion because their meanings are personal to the people who use them and not in any way universal.

You're right to be confused by them and if you find them meaningless, you aren't alone. I guess the solution, if you're interested in what clarinetist A, B or C under discussion sounds like is to find YouTube examples of their playing and judge for yourself. Likewise with equipment. Given that the player has far more to do with the sound than the mouthpiece or instrument (or barrel, etc.), if you really want to know how a piece of equipment would affect *your* sound, the only real way to find out is to get to try it yourself.
