Vandoren MP Q

Author: chorusgirl

Hello all -

Been some time since I've posted here, but you've all always been so very helpful.

My son's new clarinet teacher (a very nice fit, and working out well; well worth the one hour drive each way!) would like him to get a new mp - either the Vandoren M13 or the M15. He has a B45 that really is not the right fit for him, so he is currently using the mp that came with his Lyrique - I suppose it is Tom Ridenour's own design, but I'm not sure.

Given the price of the mp, is there anyway we can try out the two mp's and see which is better for him? I really hate to spend $75 for one mp only to find the other would be better, and cannot afford to purchase both (my son is only in seventh grade). OR would you recommend one over the other?

He is using a Mitchell Lurie size 2 1/2 reed.

As always, thanks in advance for your responses and advice - it is much appreciated!

~Marge
