Hi list
Soon after getting my student intrument, I replaced the mps with a Clarke Fobes debut ( recommnded here) together with a Rovner light ligature. This combo worked pretty well.
Recently, I thought I'd go one stage further, and got a Van Doren B45 lyre. However, this has proved not to be a good move, and I find it rather "breathy" and with quite a nasty rattle at the end of a note. In both cases a Van Doren 2.5 reed is used, which is in the middle of the recommneded range for the mps.
I can hardly believe that the new mps is as bad as it is, at twice the price of the Clarke Fobes job, and do wonder if, as a newcomer, I am doing something not quite right. I wonder therefore if others use this particular mps and find it more satisfactory than I do?
