Re: 2 Different Mouthpiece QuestionsThis MP (if it ain't defective) is absolutel

The 5RV-lyre is not a really "free blowing" mouthpiece, IMO. The facing curve and internal acoustics give it a little more resistance than many other MPs. It takes a softer reed than my M13s or M30-lyres. I just purchased my fifth (in over 30 years!) 5RV-lyre the other day ... picked it out from six at the local store.

I like an easy setup, so I use a #3.5 Vandoren V12 or a 3.0 blue box. The Legere Classic Cut #3, for me, is a marriage made in heaven, paired with the 5RV-lyre!

You may have one that has a problem, such as a warped facing or damaged rails ...

See if you can borrow another one, they should be quite common.

Tom
