The Vandoren Signature and the "Lyre" Evolution
Renowned for the consistency of its mouthpiece manufacturing, Vandoren offers with the 5RV Lyre Profile 88 a variation designed to combine comfort and control. The Profile 88 shape modifies the chin rest angle, while the Lyre designation provides a more open feel than the 5RV, paired with a longer facing to promote ease and articulation precision.
For Which Clarinetist?
This Bb clarinet mouthpiece is aimed at intermediate to advanced players seeking reliable sound production and clear articulation. Its " jazz " character suits contemporary music and wind orchestra very well, while remaining quite versatile depending on the choice of reed and ligature.
Sound, Playing Feel, and Design
The tip opening (1.09 mm) and medium facing aim for a musical compromise: good projection, homogeneous register, and a sense of control. The Profile 88 design can provide a more natural support under the lip, useful for stabilizing sound and articulation. The ebonite contributes to a consistent response and a homogeneous tone, with a refined finish.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
As the mouthpiece is sold without ligature or mouthpiece cap, plan for a ligature and cap suitable for a Bb clarinet mouthpiece to play and transport the setup safely.

The beak that every beginner should have in addition to B40. It is very forgiving and allows you to play with both moderately low (2.5) and strong reeds. It fits perfectly on any type of clarinet (high-end or not). Tested on:
