I just bought a new mouthpiece-5RV Lyre 13.
It was a spontaneous purchase. There were pros and cons.
Pros are it seems to me that this mouthpiece was quite popular in 50th and 60th and I sort of like the vibrant sound of old French clarinetists and this mouthpiece has an old design.
Also, I heard it was recommended to students by David Weber and Harold Wright. Both are kind of idols for many clarinetists.
The cons are it seems nowadays no one professional clarinetist plays this mouthpiece, except maybe Paul Meyer.
So this is just a very brief test and the very first experience with this mouthpiece. Later I am going to compare it to Reserve Evolution and BD5, but it already seems to me that this mouthpiece is going to be my favorite after I am used to it 🤔
PS. Strange noise in the background is my cats playing or fighting lol
