Another busy week at DR TOOT started on Monday with a family
from Palmerston North ! Their daughter wanted to try our pre-loved flutes. She
tried a Yamaha flute YFL311ll and the family has left happily with the flute J
Next day, it was not nice day outside…but a courier driver
came early (before 7.00am) and he delivered lots of parcels – Selmer
mouthpieces from France, Rovner ligatures from Australia, a tenor saxophone
from Dunedin, and a pre-loved Yanagisawa soprano sax S901ll from Japan !
The soprano sax was a special order by one of our customers
in Oamaru. It was only two years old and looked like new ! Shoko has serviced
it, and it was customized by replacing the original plastic thumb rest to
WoodStone thumb rest type ll. The saxophone has left DR TOOT for Oamaru the next
day J
The same day in the morning, daddy left for Rotorua too !
Oh….my big sis Zara was acting funny way since the previous night…she knew that
daddy would be away for a few days…in the morning, she was really weird..kept following daddy like puppy ! Zara is the cat
grown up with a doggy called Billy…so, I guess she’s got that from him…I guess J
On Thursday….Daddy normally prepares breakfast for mummy and
us, so without daddy, mummy had to be really organized herself. The first
courier delivered an alto sax before 7.00am from Morrinsville and a baritone
sax from Blenheim was delivered just around 7.00am. Then, our pre-loved Bach Strad trombone found
a new home through Trade Me late morning. It was wrapped nicely and has left
for Marton J
It was so chilly in Auckland on Friday. It started quiet
without daddy…In the morning, mummy had a phone call from a customer in
Tauranga. He found our pre-loved Yamaha flute 411 on our website. This time,
mummy had to talk, talk, talk….without daddy. He has ordered it over the
phone….ummmm, I am Alfa…Princess Alfa JJJ
We had a quiet weekend here without daddy. It was a beautiful
blue clear sky and my big sis Zara and I enjoyed outside together…it was chilly
but nice to be outside J
Then, this afternoon, daddy arrived home safely and we are all happy to see him
again J.
After unpacking his clothes for washing and tuba upstairs and things away, he
was at last able to talk about the week away.
Howick Brass Band is a C Grade band. They came first in the
Hymn Piece, second in the Test Piece and third overall. Well done, Howick Brass
Band. This was Luke’s first time to conduct and take the band to a contest. The
band is very very proud of him and we are very proud of our daddy. Happy Faces
all round!!!!!
