Re: Borbeck Mouthpieces

Hello,

I always recommend trying about 5 mouthpieces at the same time (when I send them to professionals, I send 10). It sounds as if Mr. Borbeck's policy of sending 2 checks for 2 mouthpieces is reasonable. Perhaps he would do 5 for 5.

Be prepared to try new mouthpeices with different strengths of reeds. You'd be amazed sometimes that what doesn't work with a 4, for example, works beautifully with a 3.5. This is all based on the facing of the mouthpiece and to the interior resistance. If you want more detailed information, I'll be glad to discuss it with you.
