It was so funny to see
daddy was so excited with Kanstul ๐ธ Since our first order has left LAX, he was
chasing up online everyday. The big parcel was flown by Air Tahiti Nui, which
means it stopped over in Tahiti…wow ! Anyway, the parcel was landed in Auckland
International Airport last Sunday.
Mummy had been
contacting with the NZ Post Broker Team and we had to wait for a few days for
the customs clearance.
It was Anzac Day on Wednesday, so we had to wait till
Thursday. Daddy had a few personal phone
call from the Broker Team (Thanks, the Team !) and finally he had a “Go Sign” for the collection
around 10.00am (originally told that it would be after 1.00pm!). So, he rushed
to the airport and arrived back with a big parcel !!! Mummy and daddy opened
up the parcel which contained a beautiful silver plated cornet, two trumpets, a
flugelhorn and a trombone….and some mouthpieces….and a gift from Kanstul which
was a book about Zig Kanstul who is a father of Jack !
Taka and a few of our
customers who are brass players have already tried the instruments and everyone
commented that easy to blow, very nice sound and resonates ! Daddy is so happy
to receive the very good feedback - Yes, all about sound ๐ Zara
and I wish that all instruments will find a new home soon in NZ ! BTW, DR TOOT
is now listed as a dealer on the Kanstul website…cool ๐
As I mentioned
earlier, it was Anzac Day and day off on Wednesday. Daddy played the tuba with
Howick Brass Band twice at the services. It was a huge crowd !
It’s the last week of
the school holidays, and it was quiet saleswise but it has been very busy with
repairs. Lots of instruments keeps arriving in from all over NZ. I didn’t make
a big sale this week…or I didn’t copy Zara but the last student model of
Briccialdi flute has found a new home in Papakura ๐
More flutes will be
arriving from Italy in a few days, and also the Selmer Paris Series lll alto
sax is due to arrive in a few day at DR TOOT…never dull moment ๐
Hope that everyone had
a awesome weekend…the new school term starts tomorrow – Be kind to unkind cats,
hehehehe…that’s all from me, Alfa, Princess Alfa ๐บ๐บ๐บ
