I just wanted to add a little to it.
I have an "Edfred's American" metal clarinet that will be 100 years old this December and is in perfect playing condition, whatever that means to a silver-plated brass clarinet. It was the second to the last instrument built in 1901, as per the ending serial number for that year and the starting one for 1902.
It has a very nice, deep, dark clarinet sound, yet it has some of the "tinniness" of a brass horn.
Since I am also a sax player, when I'm in the right mood I really enjoy its sound, although it does have some intonation problems similar to most other metal clarinets.
