Blue Note Musical Instruments is Calgary’s oldest independent instrument repair provider, known for its quality work and personal service to local musicians and schools. Founded over 50 years ago, Blue Note was purchased by Mike Griffin in 2017 and continues to provide a full range of repairs and instrument sales, specializing in the repair of saxophones, flutes and clarinets as well as the restoration of vintage saxophones.

After a twenty-five year career as an accountant (CPA), Mike took early retirement so he could spend more time pursuing his love of music and vintage saxophones. He became certified as a Straubinger Pad Technician in 2018 and is involved in the Calgary music community, playing alto/tenor/bari sax in community bands.
