Hello;
The sound is partly the klarino (clarinet) and partly thr player. Whether high or low pitch, the Albert will be similar in sound. C klarina sound different from Bb's. Many old timers loved the Bb hogh pitches because they were closer to the C clarinets' tone but a little lower in pitch and thus easier for male singers to sing along with. The other instrumrnts would tune to the Bb HP as the "C" note (violi, laouto, santouri).
Definitely, the Boehm makes it hard to sound "authentic." Any Albert will be fairly good. There are also different sounds that each guy comes ou with.
You can tell that it is Yiaouzou, or Kyriakatis, or Anestopoulos, or Malliaras, or whever.
My advice: get an Albert (simple system); I prefer C. PLAY it!
Good luck.
John (Yiannis)
