I would be very interested If you compare the 5RV Lyre profile 88 with a 13 series. I've been lately comparing M15 in the same way (a profile 88 and a 13 series one) and I like the 13 series more. In my opinion, choosing between the two is a matter of feeling and sound rather than tuning, because you can manage tuning by different length barrel.
In this recording, Vandoren V12 3. Since this initial test. I have played some melodies with Vandoren Rue 56 3s and Mitchel Laurie 3s. And switched to a larger bore Selmer G10 clarinet. The results with jazz and pop music are quite good on the Vandoren 5RV Lyre and DAddario. The Vandoren 5RV Lyre has a richer, warmer sound with more control comparing these two mouthpieces. On the other hand, the Daddario is more flexible, at the expense of control. I have decided to keep these two and add them to my stable of mouthpieces. And, I will start recording a full song on the Vandoren 5RV Lyre tomorrow. One thing to add is, I do not have a well developed classical clarinet embrochure so, I have to use a mouthpiece that has a more closed tip to maintain reasonable control and intonation.
@@hotclubofthemountains3591 Well, I play even closer tip currently like M15 13 series. I plan to also give a try to 5RV Lyre 13 series or 5RV 13 series. I currently have an engraved logo 5RV Lyre traditional beak, It's quite good but needed something with more control and closer tip as Its rails are thin.
