Georg,
As an amateur I too struggle with these questions. What I have started to realize is that there are many amateurs out there on all kinds of instruments who are not satisfied with their sound or their technique but who keep on doing it because they love the experience. My best advice is to not postpone playing with a group. There must be some groups around that consist of others facing similar issues. Assuming that you are working with a teacher who can advise you on reeds, embouchure and breath support, you should develop your own signature sound at some point. While most of us are never really satisfied, the key is learning to enjoy playing at the level you are at now and realizing that the act of playing will make you even better! I'm fortunate to live where there are many community bands of varying skill levels. Sometimes part of the band stays in 4 while the conductor and a few others go into 2. We can crawl under our chairs or just accept it and try again next time. Time in and self acceptance really help!
Linda
