It’s been a crazy week here at DR TOOT. Everyday was an
adventure. On Monday, Daddy and Masaru went to Kings College to display a range
of mouthpieces, straps, ligatures and other saxophone accessories. There was a
bit of interest and we will just wait to see what they want.
On Tuesday the repair shop was buzzing with many flute repairs for Taka as a result of the weekends Flute Festival. Masaru was busy with clarinets and saxophones and Daddy was busy with trumpets, French horns and trombones. Mummy was just busy doing everything. We girls are always busy.

On Wednesday, while it was busy in the shop, daddy took off
to a rehearsal of The Rodger Fox Big Band where he showed the musicians the
amazing range of Kanstul Brass Instruments. The players were impressed and it
was great to show off the instruments. Later on Wednesday daddy had his usual
Howick Brass Band rehearsal working towards the National Brass Band Festival in
July.
On Thursday It was all go in the workshop. Taka had to
finish the rest of the flutes because he was having Friday off work. This was
because his mum and dad were coming over to New Zealand from Japan to spend a
few days with him. Sooooo sweeeet. I think Taka was a bit nervous and excited
to see his parents. Thursday night, mummy and daddy went to visit daddy’s
daughters on the shore. That meant that I had to spend another long evening
with just Alfa for company…..not happy!!!!
On Friday it was just Daddy and Masaru in the workshop. Even
though it was just 2 repairers, there was still so much work to be done. In the
afternoon a customer who we do a lot of business with, popped in and purchased a
Yamaha YTS62 Tenor Sax in silverplated finish. He tested it and got it for one
of his many students. They are so lucky to have a teacher come in and test
instruments for them.
On Saturday Mummy and Daddy were busy cleaning the house and doing a lot of food shopping but not Alfa food shopping. In the afternoon a customer came in and tried a lovely Yamaha Custom SE Clarinet and loved and bought it. She sounded so wonderful on it. I didn’t go upstairs because I respected their privacy. The reason mummy and daddy were out shopping for food, was because we did a special dinner party for Taka’s parents. Masaru came earlier to help daddy cook the roast lamb while mummy did a super desert. We were celebrating Taka’s parents visit and Taka getting his 3 year working visa.
Such a week and I am exhausted. We hope you have had a great
weekend and relaxed a lot. Again….sorry for the delay but as you all know, its
never my fault 🙀😾😽😼
