I just purchased a Vandoren M13 mouthpiece that I used on my old clarinet, and old Edgeware Boosey and Hawkes. I was absolutely astounded with the increased quality of my overall sound -- clear tone throughout the range, far better intonation, increased range (I am above the second G above the trble staff with using some of the Opperman fingerings). I also purchased a new E11 and gained an increased ease of play. So now the complete setup is a Buffet E11, with a Vandoren M13 (A=440), a BG revalation Ligature,paired with a Rigotti Gold 3 Medium reed.
I have used the M13 on a couple of other clarinets, and have noticed quite a bit of increased response,and range that I could never get with a B45 or a Hite premier.
Are my experiences with the M13 common. I am really sold on this mouthpiece.

The M13 was designed to work well with Buffet clarinets. That's probably why you're enjoying it so much. I agree that it is a better choice (in most cases) than the more popular B45. And, yes, there are many threads about the M13 here on the bboard.

I enjoy it just as much on my Selmer Series 10.

Thanks,
I should have done a little research first. BTW, I did try the M13 Lyre. I was a little more pleased with the M13 results.
Once again, thanks all
