The Vandoren 5RV Lyre Series Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece combines comfort and tonal clarity. Its responsive and flexible facing is suited for advancing students and professionals alike. An open tip and longer facing allow for a lighter reed and a more open, articulate sound. Crafted from high-quality ebonite, the 5RV Lyre provides durability and accentuates the natural tone of your clarinet. This popular, versatile design is excellent for jazz, symphonic and general playing. A graduated beak also allows for comfort and control in all registers.

Open Tip and Longer Facing Yield Light, Articulate Sound

With a slightly more open tip and longer facing than the 5RV, the 5RV Lyre allows for a lighter reed and a more open, articulate tone. The open tip provides an airy, resonant quality ideal for jazz and chamber ensembles. The longer facing gives players more flexibility and responsiveness for nuanced phrasing and dynamics. Together, these attributes result in a mouthpiece able to produce a light, articulate sound in all ranges of the clarinet.

High-Quality Ebonite Craftsmanship for Tonal Clarity

The 5RV Lyre mouthpiece is crafted from high-quality ebonite, a hard rubber known for its durability and ability to accentuate the natural tone of woodwind instruments. Ebonite does not dampen or muffle the clarinet's sound, allowing its natural timbre and overtones to shine through. The material's density also provides a solid, non-porous surface for reeds, resulting in immediate articulation and a quick response.

Popular, Versatile Design for Diverse Musical Styles

Like the 5RV, the 5RV Lyre is an immensely popular mouthpiece suited for a variety of playing styles. Its open yet focused tone works well for classical, jazz and other genres. Music educators frequently recommend the 5RV Lyre as an excellent choice for advancing students. Professionals appreciate its versatility and ability to blend well with ensembles. Overall, the 5RV Lyre's flexible and balanced design makes it a mouthpiece for all occasions.
