"i'm enjoying my celtic tune book so much i simply must have responsive bright & clear tone, woody dark isn't right for this kind of music"
a thick, woody and dark tone can be made with U scrape reeds too, just as a clear, bright and nasal tone can be made with a long W scrape - it depends on the player's embouchure as to the sound they get, their influence and their reeds, but any sound is possible from any shape scrape - U, V or W.
Hear the difference between different European players (including British) - some play with a very bright tone while others have a thick, heavy tone - and mostly with the U scrape.
