Hi all,
I am currently using a TR Lyrique clarinet and I think that it is quiet good. However, I have problem with the tone, its too thin and not full at all, the high notes are hard to pitch and once they pop out, they sound like a spoilt speaker. I am currently using the mouthpiece that comes with the instrument, which is a handmade TR professional mouthpiece. The reed that I am using is aw, size 3 and half. So my question is, does the problem lie in the mouthpiece or the reed? I have been using the reeds for around 1 month. If the problem is with the mouthpiece, which mouthpiece do you recommend?
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I now play four Ridenours, and have been using Vandoren M13, Luyben ligature, and Vandoren Rue 56, no 3 reeds. They work well on my Ridenours. No two clarinets play or sound the same.

My experience with the AW reed is that it wrap very badly and are very hard to correct. Also reed #3 is like the hardest ones in V-12 #4

I use a Ridenour RE-10 on my Lyrique. My teacher sounds great, my tone is so-so.

I'm using a Ridenour Lyrique, and switching between a Richard Hawkins and Ridenour Artist mouthpiece (mostly use the hawkins). I use size 3.5 legere, but with the ridenour mouthpiece, it originally sounded better with a slightly softer reed (3) than the 3.5. I send it back to him and asked him to adjust it to have it play a reed about a half strength higher. Now it sounds great.
