VANDORENCM4158 M13 Lyre 13 Series Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece

I bought my last one in 2014 and it’s a bit rough around the edges so my new one is spot on to my last one cheers

I love the sound of this mouthpiece. Listener to sounds of a lot of Vandoren mouthpieces on youtube and liked this one the most.

Only used it once but I was impressed within the first 5 minutes.

Fantastic bit of kit

Love this. Great sound

Das Vandoren M13 Lyre hat eine eher kleine Öffnung (die "Biegung" der Spitze) und nach Vandoren-Nomenklatur eine mittlere bis lange Bahnlänge.Ich finde es einfach zu spielen mit einem klaren Klang.Verglichen habe ich es mit Vandoren BD5, Vandoren B45 Dot und Buffet Crampon Urban Play OEM und das M13 hat am besten zu mir gepasst.

The standard mouthpiece that came with the clarinet proved to be vastly inferior when my wife used the new Vandoren mouthpiece. Best improvement we have made.

I've been playing clarinet for most of my life and have played on many different mouthpieces. Recently I spent over $200 on a handmade mouthpiece and I decided, after a lot of research, to purchase the Vandoren M13 Lyre as a backup. Well, I wish I had bought this sooner and never spent so much money on the hand made mouthpiece. The Vandoren is incredible! My tone was instantly improved - it delivers a depth and richness I've been searching for for some time. Now the $200 mouthpiece is my backup!The response is also amazing - the ease of articulation and clarity I'm able to achieve on this mouthpiece make me sound like a professional. I've paired this with the Vandoren Optimum ligature and I think it's truly a winning combination. I have to say, I'm a believer in the Vandoren line!In case you're curious I play on a Buffet Festival clarinet - this mouthpiece is a great compliment to that beautiful instrument.I would not recommend this mouthpiece for beginners or young players as it does require some skill to get the correct sound out of it. But I think an advanced high school player and up will definitely appreciate what this mouthpiece can do.

This is a superb mouthpiece that provides a noticeable step-up in tonal quality to the Van Doren B45 mouthpiece that I have been using for the past half century. I was actually shocked to hear the immediate improvement in sound (that may also be partly attributed to my switching to a Rovner Classic Dark1R ligature when I switched mouthpieces) and the reduction in squeakiness that occasionally snuck into rapidly played high notes. An excellent price for a top notch mouthpiece that all serious clarinet players should consider. Quick delivery and good packing as well provided by the seller. Notes throughout all registers seem to have better clarity and brightness to me than with my B45 and a little more resonance; it also seems easier to achieve an sustain a vibrato when I wish to use that
