5Great Step Up Mouthpiece  Mar 25, 2011 By S.Zimm
Any clarinet player using the originally provided mouthpiece (stock) will find that the 5RV improves their sound dramatically. Many reputable middle and high schools require students to use this mouthpiece (or the B45). For students using an R13 Clarinet, they should be sure to get the mouthpiece that Selmer manufactures to fit that instrument - 5RV13 or B4513. If you're considering one or the other, it's best to try them both as they have different sounds and can help solve different issues for each player. The B45 has a wider opening (between reed tip and mouthpiece tip) and therefore allows a slightly fuller tone. But it comes at a loss of control, especially in the upper register. Another consideration would be the M15 (13 series!!! A=440) that a lot of high school and college players really like as well. Many companies will ship all three and allow you to test them first. If you're just looking for a quick improvement, the B45 is probably your best bet. If you're a little more serious, you should take the time to determine what fits you best.

Finally - Use good reeds and rotate a few at a time!!!

5great product !!!  Mar 21, 2011 By stefffe
WE purchased this for my daughter....and we could not be happier...Its top quality and even her band director praises the sound she gets now. Its the best mouthpiece you can buy and well worth teh $$$$


5I'm Glad I Bought This Mouthpiece!!  Oct 02, 2011 By Songbird
I loved this mouthpiece since the first note was played.
I have a Buffet C12 clarinet that came with a ...Noblet??? mouthpiece. The pairing was okay.
I tried the 5RV Lyre and it was as if the tone wanted to produce itself. Producing tone was so easy and the sound was lovely ^_^ I even tried the Vandoren B45 and B46 to compare but came back to the 5RV Lyre each and every time. Control in all registers is superb and there is virtually no back pressure allowing my embouchure to relax just a bit. I pair this with a Vandoren 3.5 reed and a Rovner L5 Light Bflat Clarinet ligature. I look forward to hearing how well this combo works at the next band rehearsal.

4Vandoren 5RV Lyre B flat clarinet mouthpiece  Jul 23, 2010 By Dr Anthony Davis
Better than any mouthpiece normally provided by the instrument manufacturer. Easy blowing and fits the instrument well. Not sure of the difference between this and the Vandoren B45, but cheaper.
