Re: Van Doren M30 questions

Personally I don't really like either. But the M30 Lyre has a slightly smaller tip opening according to Vandoren's website. You will have to try it for yourself to see which one is better.

Be careful of buying a series 13 M30. I have one now, and for me it plays too flat. You know how most clarinets are sharp on the throat tones? Well for me, the throat tones are actually not that bad, but the open G and the left thumb F are extremely flat for me. Everything below that is slightly flat as well. Teacher is making me try some M30s that are not series 13, even though I tune to 440 hz most of the time.

That's my experience with a 66 mm barrel and R13, may not be the same for you. But just a heads up.

Best of luck on finding your Christmas mouthpiece! You should also try some mouthpieces other than the ones by Vandoren though!
