Waiting for Summer !!!


I must say this…my big sis, Zara is definitely getting old…and she says “I am not getting old…older !!!”…yearrhhh, right J I am saying this because she forgot to do the blog…again ! I told her that I could do and let me do this, but she insisted to do then forgot. Oh, well…it’s my turn anyway J

We had another busy week…some instruments arrived for repairs/services. A few of them were a big job - complete overhaul (repads, recorks…etc.) The Team has been working very hard J Are you following us on instagram ? Mummy is busy taking photos of the instruments done by the boys. She sometimes put our photos too J

This week, two pre-loved instruments found their new home. One was a Yamaha piccolo YPC62R which came with a waved cut headjoint. A lady emailed us to say that she was interested in a wooden piccolo. Mummy found this one a few weeks later and it arrived last week. The lady happened to be in Auckland, so Taka serviced it urgently. She visited us for trying it out on Wednesday just before flying back to home to Blenheim. She tried it, loved it and left with it…ummm, it meant to be JJJ

Another one was a Yamaha tenor sax YTS62 with 62 neck. We saw a familiar face on Monday and he came back with his mum on Saturday. It was for his 21st birthday present ! He tried it on Monday and loved the sound…the tenor sax has found a new home in Auckland. Big Happy Birthday, Alex from DR TOOT Team !!!

Another parcel should be arriving here this coming week. The pre-loved Yanagisawa alto sax AW01 and another Buffet E11. We have now a very good selection of Bb clarinets - brand new Backun Alfa…ah no, Alpha J clarinet, brand new Selmer Paris clarinets, pre-loved Buffet E11, Yamaha YCL450, YCL650F and Selmer Paris Odyssee…and Buffet R13 is arriving soon too ! If you are looking for a Bb clarinet, you know where to go…right ? JJJ

The Day Light Saving started a few weeks ago, but it’s still chilly a bit. We hope that everyone had a great school holiday and ready for the last term tomorrow…come soon, Summer !!!
