Morrie Backun and Andrew Seymour are coming to Adelaide!

On Tuesday March 10, from 4:30-7pm, clarinet master craftsman and designer Morrie Backun (Founder - Backun Musical Services), and Backun Artist Andrew Seymour (Principal Clarinet - Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra)​ will be at the Elder Conservatorium of Music!

We will start with a Masterclass lead by Andrew Seymour, one of Australia's most respected and in-demand clarinettists. Performers in Andrew’s Masterclass are from the class of Lloyd Van't Hoff and we warmly invite you to attend this open session.
After the Masterclass, have the chance to meet Morrie Backun and ask him any questions that you may have. Morrie is eager to meet the Adelaide clarinet community and is always willing to share his insights and wealth of experience, built up over a lifetime as a performing artist and master craftsman.

Available for trial are the full range of Backun clarinets and accessories, including some very special, never before seen models! We will also be joined by the team from Presto Music, and Stuart Brownley from D’Daddario, who will have a range of exciting products for trial.

To reserve your spot, please RSVP through this link:

We would like to thank Lloyd Van't Hoff for helping us organise this event and the Elder Conservatorium of Music for hosting us.

Something a bit different to repair across January this year.
As well as all the usual bell dent work we get we had the 5 horns from the Murray Princess Paddlewheeler.
