I've been enjoying this thread greatly. So many thoughtful comments! Thank you for all the stimulating reading.

I feel that the relatively homogenous American sound stems in part from the fact that the oboe is considered primarily an orchestral instrument -- that is, a single color among many. An orchestral player doesn't need as much flexibility of color as does a soloist who's trying to sustain the audience's interest -- basically alone -- for an hour. I'm hard-pressed to name any American wind soloists who are "household names" (but I hope that I'm wrong and that you'll correct me). In my opinion, the tradition of solo wind playing in Europe encourages the development of a more individual sound, and one that contains a lot more range of color. That doesn't make it more beautiful, by any means, than the "dark brown" discussed above. I myself have been struggling with the right balance, not wanting to leave behind the American aesthetic but needing more range of color. This may mean going outside the range of acceptability for some, but in principle we all have the freedom to find our own home on the spectrum.
