Re: B40 Lyre 13 vs Traditional

The reason for scooping the baffle on the Series 13 Vandorens was to try to make the mouthpieces produce a "darker" sound. I'm not even certain that the lower pitch wasn't an unintended side-effect. By implication the Traditional blanks produce a "brighter" sound (for the same player on each model).

It really comes down to an individual player's comfort and preference. The Traditional and the Series 13 B40 Lyre *should* sound slightly different (I think "greatly affect" would be an overstatement), but which you'll prefer isn't something anyone can predict.
