Up Up and Away !


Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.  Zara here.  It’s been a pretty crazy week here at DR TOOT’s.  As you know, daddy (DR TOOT), has been working on a lovely 1939 Selmer Balance Action alto sax for a very special musician in Wellington. This person is leaving soon with the Wellington Jazz Orchestra to America and recording with Capital Records in L.A. Earlier this week, daddy finished the fine tuning on this instrument and flew down to Wellington on Saturday and personally presented him with his sax.  With a little fine tuning on it, he was 100% happy.

After a lovely spicy brunch he left daddy in Wellington central so that daddy could relax and look around beautiful Wellington before flying back up to Auckland at just after 6.  In the after noon daddy caught up with a few musicians at a pub and had a great time.  When daddy finally got to the airport, he realises that the flight back to Auckland (our home), was cancelled due to windy weather. Daddy stayed the night and arrived back to us on Sunday afternoon……so happy to see my daddy….meow meow.

Other news…well let’s see. The Gonzalez reeds have finally left Argentina to NZ, A shipment of saxophones including the YTS61S has left Japan and a Miyazawa solid silver flute, that we had in stock, has found a home with a lovely girl here in Auckland.

Mummy is still working very hard on our website.  It should be finished soon and there will be pictures of daddy, mummy…her (Alfa) and me on the website. You should see what amazing title I have.  I can’t tell you. You will have to wait.

Ta ta for now and all have a wonderful week. Remember that this week coming is the last week before the school holidays. If your instruments need attention…and you know they do, get them in quickly to DR TOOT  and in no time at all, they will be back and in perfect order J
