Here's my humble opinion...

I've spent many,many hours over time reading various forums in an attempt to garner an average opinion on the lyrique Pro Clarinet.

What I have learned from all of this from the pros that actually use the Lyrique Bb Custom RCP-576bc Model is:


As far as intonation, playing across the break, ease of playing in the altissimo, evenness of scale and overall playability, this instrument is tops.
Of course being rubber, it is pretty consistent and you don't worry about it cracking, dampits, etc. ( I read of one person who was trying out many of the lyriques when looking to purchase and couldn't find any differences to decide which one was "best," as he was used to buying wooden clarinets).

Famed clarinetist Professor Sherman Friedland really loves the Lryique and recommends it ( as do many other pros).

The only thing negative that seems to keep coming up is that the key work could be improved and this only comes from some.

The other thing which seems to happen is that when mentioning the lyrique, some people are referring to the older models which aren't as good as the new ones.

I've read of people getting rid of their "high end" clarinets such as the Tosca, etc. In favor of the lyrique pro model, so Tom must be doing something right!

As with any clarinet, some may or may not prefer the tone of the lyrique. Welsh National Opera Principal Clarinetist Leslie Craven for example uses the lyrique pro models with a bakun bell because he believes that the clarinet could use extra sonority and life to the lower register, others like them just the way they are.
