The 5RV will be quite different from your B45. It's closed a lot more then the B45 with a shorter facing and I am pretty sure you will want a stiffer reed.

I grew up with the 5RV, but I have ended up with a Fobes Cicero 12. These are both closed with shorter facings and have a totally different feel than you get from the more open mouthpieces. If you have a chance to try a Fobes mouthpiece, you might be happier with the 4L or one of the Europa models.

The regular Vandoren M30 might be an easier change for you. It will be a little different from your B45, but you might feel comfortable with it.

And if you are happy with your B45, there is nothing that says you have to change. Trying new stuff is fun, but it can also be frustrating if you also have to try different reeds to make the new 'piece work. :-)

Cheers,

Ron
