Happy Long Weekend !

Listening to Alfa’s snoring is nothing compared with what we have had to put up with this week. I was almost ready to leave my palace and check out another kingdom to rule. At my age I like to rest a little, eat a little and take in nature's treasures, like butterflies and lizards and springs warm light breezes. Instead of this…we had water blasting my palace and pathways. Windows cleaned with the roar of water and machine. This was all too much for one as delicate and beautiful as I am. Alfa spent most of the day under mummy’s desk or behind mummy on her chair in the office. A real scaredy cat!!! All of this took place on Thursday towards the end of the week. Not that that means much to me as everyday is the same.

The week has been a very busy week as it was the first week of the last term of the year. Instruments were delivered to schools and mummy was able to see the floor in her office again. Completed repairs went out and new repairs came in. Many saxophones requiring major work and overhauls came in from all around New Zealand. Masaru and Taka had their work cut out for them while daddy stripped and clean them…( the instruments of course )… as well as working on brass instruments. There was such a buzz going on in the shop. I love it.

A major buzz happened on Wednesday when a gentleman came in, in the afternoon and bought a beautiful Selmer Paris Alto Saxophone Series III.  All of our saxophones are set up in the shop by either Taka or Masaru, prior to sale. This is very important as we want to show off the instruments in their best way. All instruments either new or used are service and regulated before they are listed for sale.

Many, many, accessories arrived from overseas and many left here to musicians from all parts of New Zealand. Alfa will be able to share some exciting news to you about things that have just arrive and arriving this week. I am sorry that this is a day late, but you see it is Labour Day Weekend and I am still recovering from all that noise.

Hope you all have a peaceful week to come. Your Zara Always 😼😺😸
