Vandoren Bb-Clarinet B45 Lyre

This is my mouthpiece almost from the start. My first mouthpiece was a regular B45 (I try also M30, M13 and the ones that come with the clarinets).

It is very simple to have good sound with it. That, for me, is one of the most important aspects to have in account when you buy a mouthpiece, or a reed, or even a clarinet. having a good sound have to be worked, but, at same time, have to be natural.

Of course that every person has a different way to play. So, you will have to try some different mouthpieces to understand what is the mouthpiece that will help you play well and with a good sound with naturalness.

This review comes from a beginner, at first contact with wind instruments.
The construction quality is out of doubt: from the moment you take it out of the box it is really easy to recognise a well built hight quality mouthpiece.
My impression after some tens of hours practicing is that the sound can be brilliant, clear and strong for an expert player, but I would expect a better response. Now, this may well be only my impression, but I would expect the mouthpiece (or is it the reed?) to adapt better to the slight movements of the mouth attempting to control the tone. Generally, very good impressions.
