Created in the early thirties by Robert Van Doren, the 5RV Lyre is
a longstanding favourite mouthpiece across many professional players.
The 5RV Lyre supports clear and flexible articulation while allowing a round and full sound. A well-balanced mouthpiece with ease of control.
The Lyre symbol refers to an alteration that is been made to
the original model. Although we see different mouthpieces with a lyre within
the Vandoren range, not all of them present the same variation. In this
occasion, the 5RV Lyre features a slightly larger tip opening and a longer facing
to its traditional version allowing a more projected and bigger sound.
Vandoren
has designed the 13 series range specifically for those clarinettists in need
of a A440 pitched mouthpiece. All the 13 series mouthpieces also come with the
Profile 88 beak, which refers to the shape of the beak of the mouthpiece
giving to the player a more comforting mouth position. In comparison with the
traditional mouthpiece, the Profile 88 has a longer beak and smother
shaped transition to the chamber.
