problem with M30 lyre

Author: Emmyluvsmusic

I just bought an M30 lyre and I'm finding it pretty uncomfortable to play on.

I used to play on a really really open generic rubber mouthpiece. After 2 years, I switched to a Gennusa Retro which was a pretty big difference but I found that I immediately adapted to it and I also liked the tone quality. After a few months, my teacher didn't like its lack of projection and told me to try Vandoren lyres so I bought an M30 lyre because when I was trying it, I was told it produced a more refined sound.

Now I'm finding it really difficult to play on. Normally, I like the presence of resistance but on this M30 lyre, I'm craving for something more free blowing. When I visually compare the Gennusa with it, I find that the M30 lyre has a steeper facing, is a tad longer and much narrower. Now I'm even more confused.

What should I do?

Thank you to anyone who replies.
