Hey Dan,
I don't attribute sound to equipment.......in that sense. There is the apocryphal story of a fan walking up to Jascha Heifetz backstage after a concert. She says to Heifetz, "Your violin sounded lovely tonight." Heifetz, putting his hand behind his ear leans toward the open case where he just placed his instrument and says, "That's funny, I don't hear it making a sound!"
The bottom line is that the MUSICIAN produces the sound out of the equipment that gives her/him the greatest freedom to achieve that sound.
The secret to a good sound (on clarinet) is finding that perfect balance between the amount of air used and the embouchure engagement for the specific note at a specific dynamic level........a tight rope act. Many beginning students don't understand how much air is required (under estimate the effort). But the real trick is......the air.
.............Paul Aviles
