Re: 5RV 13 Issues

Dear SGB2007,

Yes, my problem was with a 5RV Lyre, series 13, profile 88 Vandoren mouthpiece. Perhaps this is just an issue of just how much mouthpeice we take in to the mouth, but I have a natural place where mouthpieces go into my mouth and that will NEVER change. The additional factor to consider is that I have always tended toward mouthpieces with longer lays and this was never an issue before.

Odd.

But, at least this combination works wonders for me. You must be prepared for the 56s to be a bit stronger than their regular Vandoren counterparts. We have discussed issues with the reed not lasting as long as the traditional cut on this board before but I have as yet not had this problem. Perhaps it is because I live with the slight bump in strength to the reed of the same strength number I have always used.

So far.....AMAZING!
