Wind known for its warmth (8)

I believe the answer is:

clarinet

(Other definitions for clarinet that I've seen before include "Single-reed straight-tubed instrument" , "Instrument in claret, strangely" , "Musical wind instrument as played by Benny Goodman" , "Music maker" , "Wind instrument made from Clare tin" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
