Max Murphy

So after years of playing the bari exclusively, I finally went and got myself an alto. It had been a really long time since I had played alto, but I got the chance to try one out recently and was hooked almost right away.

It had been a really long time since I had played alto, but I got the chance to try one out recently and was hooked almost right away. It seemed small and a little cumbersome at first,  but after a short time it played really beautifully and naturally, as if I had never put it down.

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

      Max Murphy Thanks Alain. Not too many of us here so far. In fact I haven't even found any other Vancouver based horn players on this site yet. Hopefully all that will change.

      Alain Londes Well, I think that if we each try to pass the word within our geographical areas then slowly but surely we can make inroads. I only started this group a few weeks ago.
      We have tonnes of talent across the land.
