<<I am just struggling to see how a player can for want of a better phrase impersonate or develop the same sound given that there are so many outside influences i.e. the reed and the instrument itself and the embouchure which will vary dramatically from person to person...>>
What you say is quite true, Andrew, but my thought is the development of the "accent" (great way of saying it) is done more easily -- and perhaps unconsciously, at the start -- than one might think.
For example, I study with someone who was a Mack student. Immediately, this influences the sound I am being guided to make; it influences the reeds my teacher provides; it influences embouchure formation; it influences the concept of phrasing and articulation taught. But most of all, it influences my ear, because I hear my teacher play, and that becomes the "normative" tone for me -- much like a child adopts the language rhythms and idiosyncracies of a parent.
It all happens at such a "tender age", developmentally speaking, that by the time one is smart enough to think about it, one has already incorporated the traits of the "parent" into their playing.
This is yet another reason why it is important whom you choose for your teacher!
