OK ... just to clarify some information about Vandoren MPs ... correct me if my info is wrong ... please add more if you have it ... it is interesting to me.
The 2RV, 5RV and 5RV-lyre were designed by (now deceased) Robert Vandoren
The B40, B40-lyre, B45, B45-lyre, B45-dot, B46 and maybe the 11.6 were designed by Bernard Vandoren
The M13, M13-lyre, M15, M30, M30-lyre and M30D were designed by (or with input from) Donald Montanaro.
The internal geometry is different for these three families or MP. The "M" series shares similar internal dimensions to some of the old Henri Chedeville MPs. I don't know if the RV and B series have copied from previous art.
In addition there is a Profile 88 option, which just has a longer, slimmer bite or beak.
And we have the 13 series, which adds some length in order to play A=440
Also, where did the name "13 series" come from? The Buffet R13?
Please correct and/or add information. I am curious to learn more ...
