A little more open than the M13 mouthpiece, the Vandoren M13 Lyre Bb clarinet mouthpiece permits easy blowing with harder reeds and produces a rich and centered sound. We recommend the Vandoren M13 Lyre clarinet mouthpiece for symphonic and chamber music. |

Vandoren M13 Lyre Bb Clarinet Mouthpieces
Profile 88
The only difference between the "Traditional" and "Profile 88" mouthpieces is in the exterior angle of the beak. Therefore, the musician is free to choose the model which suits his purpose in terms of best playing position, easiest sound emission, greatest playing comfort and the most controllable and precise articulation. |

I went through about 6 mouthpieces before this beauty. 5RV (second best besides the M13L), 5RVL, B45, B45L, B40, and M30 (the best so far besides the M13L). All of them sounded somewhat unsatisfactory, and some of them even stuffy and very agonizing. I was looking for a mouthpiece that will produce a beautiful sound for me. After going through 6 mouthpieces (and spending over 200 dollars at least), I decided to try this one out at a music vendor. I will never forget that moment - easiness of playing, beauty and evenness of tone, reed-friendly characteristic, and staying in tune (I had to occasionally pull out and in the barrel with the M30 I had before). I was blown away and wanted to buy the mouthpiece, but the price was very expensive ($100), so I just came back home and ordered the mouthpiece on WWBW. Now I am happy with my tone and sound. I love this item, and would say that this is Vandoren's best mouthpiece (there's also M13, which gives brighter sound. I wanted dark sound, so I chose M13L instead). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This mouthpiece is very free blowing, which is good in most situations I've used it for a year now, and comparing it to others, including some of twice the value, I prefer this mouthpiece. Overall it is an all-around mouthpiece good for fast technical pieces and slow expressive pieces. I use Vandoren 56s and V12s, depending on the tonal qualities I am looking for. Paired with the Vandoren leather ligature with exchangeable pressure plates, this mouthpiece is amazing for soloing, which is what most of my playing consists of.

I find this mouthpiece to be amazingly responsive. It produces a consistent, even sound trough all registers. It sounds good enough for a pro, and is easy enough to play for a student. Very versatile.

The M13 Lyre is a mouthpiece that I keep coming back to. It has a lovely dark sound, but without the flabbiness I've found in other dark playing mouthpieces. The response and ease of playing is great, too. I am very happy with this mouthpiece for my own performing needs, and I have recommended it to several students as well. No complaints about the price, either!

Working at a music store, I am always the first to try new mouthpieces when they come in. I have yet to find any mouthpiece, including all of the Vandoren mouthpieces, that matches the tone of this mouthpiece. It's dark. You can play soft. You can play loud without blasting. Your tone won't spread. You won't fall in and out of tune. It's an amazing mouthpiece. You really cannot beat the price. It's amazing.
