If you can afford it, get an R13. If not, an E11 will do nicely. Those are both Buffet. Also, Buffet mouthpieces (the one that comes with the horn) aren't all that great, so I'd buy new one. I played on a Vandoren 5RV Lyre for awhile, and it was good, but you couldn't really change much with volume and tone. I liked it but recently switched to a (Vandoren) M13. I have yet to master it, but it seems to be alot 'looser'. I can sound good at a soft volume and a loud volume, and change the tone, and bend the pitch wherever I need it to go. Although, it doesn't seem to be as good with Altissimo notes.
Hope I helped,
