After seeing the advertising for the BD5 “The perfect balance between dark, rich, “ I was curious if this balance was possible. Maybe this was marketing hype. After trying it this description is spot on for my BD5 13 series MP. It is dark but yet has a very full round tone not achieved by any of the other Vandoren mouthpieces. If it has a down side I have to work a bit harder compared to my M13 Lyre. The facing curve is more taxing. It’s also a bit flatter than my M13 Lyre so it doesn’t work well with my Legere Signature reeds I use on occasion. Using a cane reed I have no intonation issues. I tried the non 13 series BD5 and the differences are more than tuning. I verified with Vandoren that the non 13 series BD5 has a chamber modification to alter the pitch. It’s not just shortened. I did not achieve the same round tone on the Non 13 series MP. It was less resistant but lacked the depth IMO.
