One conclusion that seems to follow from all of this discussion, especially of using sound clips (recordings) to define tone qualities, is that many of us seem to aspire to sounding like a recording. Live sound is so different from the electronic sound we most often hear, even when you're hearing a heavily amplified live performance.

One good way to develop a good concept of sound is to go to live acoustic performances. Preferably of chamber music, where you're likely to be seated closer to the players and the individual performers are more easily heard.

I'll grant that we can probably make valid comparisons among individual recorded clarinet (or any other instrument) sounds, if all we want to do is describe what we've heard. But using them as models for a player's own tone is IMO futile.

A "warm, dark" tone like [recording artist's name] isn't necessarily (or even probably) what a player may think it is.
