I commented on measurements of the BD lay in a previous thread. To summarise, it is quite close to a 5RV Lyre over most of the curve, but with changes at either end. The BD is shorter, with the opening of the curve going to zero more abruptly beyond 15mm from the tip, and it has a stronger curvature just 2-3mm from the tip with the curve flaring more open quite suddenly. Both these changes seem likely to make the thing harder work to play, leaving aside the issue of thicker rails. I found the BD very dull and lacking in resonance. I've noticed a couple of principals in major British orchestras using them recently, and I thought it had a negative impact on their sound.
