I think you are forgetting that when an oboist says that they are “scraping this reed a little to make it darker” what they really mean, I think, is that they are trying to modify the tone for what they hear in their head. Let me explain: Mr. Killmer of the Eastman school often says, “Listen to your sound from across the room”. The tone that we hear is not the tone that other people hear but the sound we hear, literally in our heads. I often “darken” my reeds considerably because all I hear is the upper partial in the tone. I don’t feel that I am chasing the dark tone, but trying to fix the sound I am hearing between my ears; which leads me to the next point…you will never “find the music” if you are forever worrying about the tone. So, obsess if you must on achieving that dark tone, as long as you know that it is not the arrival point but the departure point.
