For those of you who are fans of Robert Borbeck mouthpieces (as I am), just a quick note to say that he is alive and well, living in Las Vegas and still producing his beautiful custom clarinet mouthpieces.
I recently contacted him to duplicate a custom mouthpiece I purchased from him about 30 years ago, and I'm happy to say that it plays even better than my original.
Robert Borbeck is yet another one of our fine custom mouthpiece makers, having studied and worked along side many of the great artisans of the past (Kaspar, Matson, etc...)
He does not have a web site and prefers speaking directly with clarinetists to determine their needs.
Contact info can be found here:

BTW - as has been written in other postings:
"The Borbeck mps you will find in the commonly available catalogs (such as WW/BW, Weiner, etc.) list the student grade mp (and the student grade price) only. You have to work with Mr. Borbeck directly to get the pro grade mps."
...GBK
Disclaimer - No association with Mr. Borbeck and I happily paid full retail price.
