i think i will add my 20 cents..))
I came to the point:we are confused with colors-bright-dark-semibright,etc.
oboe is soprano voice instrument.does anybody ever heared DARK soprano voice?
I think it would be ALTO ,maybe MEZZO,but not a soprano!bad reed can be noisy,not balanced,racous,stiff,dull,sharp,flat,unstable.
as an opposite,good reed will be centered,comfortable,vibrating,ringing,stable and flexible.
we can wish sounds WARM maximum..but not "dark".
just an opinion.
