Paul,

You mentioned that "Mr. Hyvakko's comments are spot on."

This, however, leads me to the following, rather simplistic question: Does this mean that the Vandoren M13 is a preferable mouthpiece to the 5RV solely because you can more easily play harder reeds on it (due to its long, 38 facing and closest tip opening) and therefore obtain all of the positive items that Mr. Hyvakko mentions?

I have a few more questions:

Because the 5RV requires a softer reed due to its medium short, 32 facing and more open tip:

Does this mean that the 5RV:

1) Has less stability?
2) Has less core to it's sound?
3) Plays flatter altissimo notes?
4) Has a tone that is too bright?
5) Has too many undesired upper partials?
6) Makes it harder to find good sounding softer reeds?

I think this could possibly make for an interesting discussion.
