I believe you may substitute the term, "vocal", for "lyrical" ... for a general analogy.

Certain mouthpieces from Bach -- the ones having an "A"-suffix (after the number), are described as having a " ... rich lyric cornet tone favored by players of the Italian school ... ".

I have several various-sized Bach "A" mouthpieces, and use them often, as I prefer the tonal characteristic, roughly approaching the range of the vintage deep "V"-cup "cookie-cutter" mouthpieces.

I have a vintage (almost 100-yrs old) Wurlitzer "Lyric" Cornet.
