Re: Robert Borbeck mouthpieces

I had loaner Eb clarinet for awhile and several mouthpieces in the case to choose from. All the mouthpieces were fairly new and in good shape except for an old Borbeck that had a good chip knocked out of the tip. The chip was still floating around in the case and on a lark I decided to glue it back into place. After a few weeks of MUCH experimentation and panic attacks I fell back on the "restored" Borbeck only to find that it not only played, but played rings around the other mouthpieces.

After a successful concert I swore the next time I'd go back to Eb it would be with a Borbeck.

Thanks GBK.
