Interested in many different activities besides music, Matt quickly found an interest in woodworking and immediately began experimenting with creating different types of saxophone plugs. He can best be described as an "equipment person" who is always interested in a new horn, mouthpiece, ligature, or any type of accessory. While the saxophone end plug is often overlooked as a quality accessory, the plug serves a very important purpose protecting the octave mechanism from becoming bent. Usually made from plastic, Matt feels the exotic wooden end plug adds beautiful contrast to the metal saxophone body. While SaxPlugs.com is still in the beginning stages, there are many different designs available from many different types of wood, and Matt is constantly experimenting with new ideas and ways to make the end plug an even more functional accessory. Please check back often for new designs! less
