I think Leblanc Bliss and Ridenour's Lyrique are in the same class of clarinet, especially for student and the price of both clarinet are in the same range.
I want to ask about those clarinet in generally.
How the comparison of those clarinet?
About the quality, sound, etc?

There are three Bliss models and two Lyrique models in Bb You will need to be more specific as to which models you want to compare/contrast.

The 576bc is actually quite a capable clarinet, well above what I would consider a "student" instrument, with excellent intonation through the entire range, and fairly consistent resistance. I can't speak on the Bliss models, as I haven't had the chance to play them, but if my experience with the Backun/leblanc Cadenza wwas an indicator, theyu should be pretty nice instruments. You have three variants of construction with the Bliss clarinets: synthetic, synthetic with a wood barrel, and all wood. Since there are significant variances thee, it would be dificult to generalize. Again, Backun's expertis can lead to an excellent instrument, as does Ridenour's. I love the results I get with my 576BC.

I can't speak for the Bliss instruments, but the RCP 576BC is a professional class horn, not a student model. I'm not an orchestral professional, but I'm not an amateur either. I'm a music educator with a degree who still plays in musical pit orchestras and bands. The Ridenour instrument is, for me, superior to the Buffet I used to play. Everyone has their own preferences, though.
I'd like to try a Bliss...students often ask me what to get when they want to upgrade, and I haven't tried these instruments.
