GBK,

Thanks for the info. Back in the 70's (dating myself now), I got a hold of a Borbeck from my teacher, who was with the CSO. Borbeck had sent him a bunch to try, and they were going around the clarinet section of the CSO at the time (would have been Clark Brody, Walter Wollwage, George Weber, and......can't remember - Stowell maybe?). I was lucky enough to be allowed to purchase one, and I happily played it for 5-7 years. I broke it in college during a lesson 1 week before my senior recital. I played the recital on my teachers Kaspar, but I'm not sure I've ever played a mouthpiece I loved as much as that Borbeck. I was aware that you could get some Borbeck models from some stores, but I knew they weren't the "real" Borbecks. Christmas is coming - I just might have to get a hold of him for a new Christmas present- thanks again for the info!
