The Vandoren 5RV lyre is a fine professional mouthpiece. I've been using
this mouthpiece for at least five years now, with much satisfaction. The
mouthpiece provides good basic intonation on my set of Buffet R13s, and fits
Vandoren V-12 reeds very well.

There are other Vandoren mouthpieces that are perhaps better suited to young
students. I recommend the 5RV lyre to both professionals and college
students. As with all mouthpieces, they of course vary from one mouthpiece
to the next. But, given a trial of three or four, chances are good that you
will find one that suits you.
