Re: B40 Lyre 13 vs Traditional

Nathan, with your experience and expertise on mouthpieces, would you be willing to weigh in on this issue of the 13 Series being longer or not? I would really value your input.

As far as the D’addarios, I would respectfully disagree. To me, they’re better in theory, but not in practice. Every single one I’ve examined has had rough edges that show they are 100% machine-made with no hand finishing. The hand finishing of the Vandorens IS a plus. Furthermore, for me, the best Vandorens play like the best mouthpieces available. I think that is reflected in the number of top-level players using them, as opposed to the almost none using the Reserve mouthpieces.
