If the bore of the instrument determines the basic sound quality then you could argue that playing a Rigoutat is going to make you sound bright. I have heard some oboists produce the brightest sound on a Laubin and others produce the darkest and most ravishing tone on a Rigoutat.
The wood does change the tone because of their respective densities, it may be slight but it is a marked difference and palpable to many players, such as Richard Woodhams-Rosewood Laubin [back in the day], Sherry Sylar-Rosewood Laubin.
