Sam Murray was an Irish traditional flute maker from Belfast City, Ireland.
He was born in Belfast, where he worked for many years up until the early 2000s, when he moved to Galway City.
[1][2] Murray's instruments are all made in high-grade African blackwood or Persian boxwood using sterling silver for rings and keys.
Murray was born in Sailortown, Belfast, part of which no longer exists as it was demolished in place of the M2 motorway.
[citation needed] He was buried in Milltown Cemetery, Belfast on the 29th of April.
