Congrats, Howick Brass !!!


Another very busy week started here at DR TOOT.

On Monday, two parcels arrived – one of them had a special order by one of our customers. It was a very stylish Bam Panther cabin case for tenor saxophone.  Another parcel was from Briccialdi Flutes in Italy, and we have received more flutes for stock. School holidays have started and we received some instruments for repairs and services.

Then, a mother and daughter who live near here, visited us to try one of Briccialdi flutes. The daughter tried the model 7714 and loved the sound. They left with the flute and happy smile 😸

Tuesday, another mother and daughter came to see us with her clarinet which was purchased from us a few years ago. The Yamaha clarinet was an old model and it required a lot of work…Daddy recommended to be upgraded, they went to the showroom upstairs, daughter tested the Yamaha wooden clarinet YCL650…we took her old clarinet as trade-in (Yes, we do trade-in 😊) and left with her new clarinet - Another happy customer 😉

Wednesday morning, daddy left for the NZ Brass Band Championships in Blenheim with other Howick Brass members.  Zara wasn’t happy at all and she curled up at the corner of sofa and she ignored daddy…oh, well 😼

While daddy was away, mummy and boys…and me and Zara were busy ! Some instruments have arrived for repairs and services. Zara and I made sure everything was fine and going smooooth 😸

We also watched Howick Brass was playing on live stream. Well done, Howick Brass…they won Championship of C Grade Bands - Huge Congratulations from the DR TOOT Team !!! 🏆🏆🏆 We are so proud of all members…especially, our daddy who played the tuba…played very well !!!
