THURSDAY 5th MARCH 2026
@ASHBURTON COMMUNITY CENTRE
We are excited to welcome clarinet master craftsman, designer, and Founder of Backun Musical Services Morrie Backun to Melbourne!
Backun Artist David Griffiths (Professor in Music Performance - Clarinet, Melbourne Conservatorium) is joining Morrie for this session on all things clarinet, including tuning, voicing, maintenance and the behind-the-scenes of engineering instruments and accessories.
Internationally renowned as one of the most influential clarinet makers of our time, Morrie has reshaped modern clarinet design through innovation, exceptional craftsmanship, and close collaboration with performers.
Morrie is eager to meet the Melbourne clarinet community and will be sharing 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 be joined by Stuart Brownley from D’Daddario, who will also have a range of exciting products for trial.
