Re: New Vandoren M30 Lyre

Hey Bob,

I forgot to try the B40 D, I meant to. The M30 D does work on a French system clarinet. It sticks up a little bit above the barrel. David told me that it is supposed to on the French system instrument. I play Toscas and the M30 D worked just fine. I checked the pitch and it was A=440. For me it offered a feeling of a little more resistance and cover/cushion to the sound versus my current M30 13. I recorded myself on both and they sound very similar. David was kind enough to loan me the M30 D and so I played some rehearsals and concerts on it. It works just fine. I am going for a more old school French sound and found that I can manipulate the results better and more effortlessly on my current M30 13 than I could on the M30 D. However, that being said, there was only one M30 D to try at the studio in New York. I really do want to order a bunch of both and try them some more.

Hope that helps,
RC
