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

Mr. Chang accidentally came across a burned and destroyed saxophone. Based on his knowledge of fine brushwork, he set out to learn how to make a saxophone. Little by little, from self-study, research, and drawings of the musical instrument's parts, he accomplished what seemed impossible - creating the first Made-in-Taiwan saxophone from scratch - and later made Houli a town well known for its saxophone production.
The Chang, Lien-Chang Saxophone Museum was established by Mr. Chang's grandchildren decades after he passed away to commemorate his contribution of giving Taiwan a firm place in the history of musical instrument making. Among the museum's collection are a basso saxophone engraved with "LIEN CAN" on its surface and an old saxophone made in the forties. The museum also demonstrates the different steps of saxophone-making and Mr. Chang's calligraphy works. less
