I really appreciate you spend time listening that carefully! Eventually all we do is practice and hope it comes out as we intended and it's a pleasure to here somewhere someone benefits some joy out of it, thank you!
I think we need to rate instruments. For woodwinds, clarinet is definitely B tier. Flute A tier. Piccolo C tier. Bass clarinet A tier. Contrabass clarinet S tier. Oboe is C tier. But bassoon gets B tier. Saxiphone is D tier. C tier for barirne sax. F for soprano sax. Any disagreements? I'll do brass and strings another time.
Soprano sax is like A or B tier in my opinion. Piccolo would be B tier because I have a bias for smaller instruments. And oboe would be A tier because I play it so bias there
