Great Step Up Mouthpiece Mar 25, 2011
By S.Zimm
Any clarinet player using the originally provided mouthpiece (stock) will find that the 5RV improves their sound dramatically. Many reputable middle and high schools require students to use this mouthpiece (or the B45). For students using an R13 Clarinet, they should be sure to get the mouthpiece that Selmer manufactures to fit that instrument - 5RV13 or B4513. If you're considering one or the other, it's best to try them both as they have different sounds and can help solve different issues for each player. The B45 has a wider opening (between reed tip and mouthpiece tip) and therefore allows a slightly fuller tone. But it comes at a loss of control, especially in the upper register. Another consideration would be the M15 (13 series!!! A=440) that a lot of high school and college players really like as well. Many companies will ship all three and allow you to test them first. If you're just looking for a quick improvement, the B45 is probably your best bet. If you're a little more serious, you should take the time to determine what fits you best.
Finally - Use good reeds and rotate a few at a time!!!

I'm Glad I Bought This Mouthpiece!! Oct 02, 2011
By Songbird
I loved this mouthpiece since the first note was played.
I have a Buffet C12 clarinet that came with a ...Noblet??? mouthpiece. The pairing was okay.
I tried the 5RV Lyre and it was as if the tone wanted to produce itself. Producing tone was so easy and the sound was lovely ^_^ I even tried the Vandoren B45 and B46 to compare but came back to the 5RV Lyre each and every time. Control in all registers is superb and there is virtually no back pressure allowing my embouchure to relax just a bit. I pair this with a Vandoren 3.5 reed and a Rovner L5 Light Bflat Clarinet ligature. I look forward to hearing how well this combo works at the next band rehearsal.

Very Nice Oct 03, 2012
By Edward
Only good for reeds from 2-4 strengths. Beyond that get a different mouthpiece. Anyways I have an E11 with this mouthpiece and the Vandoren Optimum, and I've had 3 professionals say I have the perfect set-up. Helps you really to get that round sound.

Tried and true Jul 04, 2012

This is the 6th Vandoren 5RV I have purchased (keep in mind there are three of us in our home who play) and this is a great mouthpiece, especially for the price. There are nicer, more expensive ones out there, but there are also a lot of crappy ones out there that are cheaper or in the same price range or more. This one is tried and true and good from the beginner to professional levels.
