Vandoren 5RV Eb Clarinet Mouthpiece
Vandoren 5RV Eb Clarinet Mouthpiece
With a smaller tip opening and shorter facing than the B40/B44 Eb clarinet mouthpiece, the Vandoren 5RV provides more control yet surprised us with its free-blowing nature. We found success pairing this with a Vandoren 3 Traditional, V12, or V21 Eb clarinet reed.
TRIALS?
Now, many folks allow for trials of mouthpieces. With Vandoren mouthpieces, I don't. Why? (Is it because I'm a jerk? No.) Vandoren's manufacturing and hand-finishing process is so well-oiled, so consistent, that every mouthpiece of the same model is essentially the same.
That said, if you'd like to return it, I can accept it and sell it as used, however there is a $30 restocking fee to cover the reduction in value of the mouthpiece.
You simply cannot go wrong with Vandoren, and it's a great value.
