It's not all about sales !

Well, it's been another very busy week under my watch. Many instruments have come and been repaired. We are doing many major saxophone rebuilds now which is keeping both boys very busy !

Our long  awaited flute from Italy has finally arrived and after Taka has set it up, Daddy took it around to a flute player in the APO. She was very impressed with the sound and response of this beautiful Briccialdi flute. After about 30 minutes of solid playing, she gave it the thumbs up and off to Australia it went on Wednesday. The new owner will be thrilled when he receives it 😸

This week mummy was not only packing, wrapping, sorting, invoicing but was also taking pictures of our entire Kanstul range of instruments and other bits and pieces including a new Backun Beta clarinet and Backun clarinet mouthpieces. It's all happening at DR TOOT!!!! You will shortly be able to view these instruments shortly on our website and on TRADE ME. Such a clever girl our mummy 🙀😋

A few people came in this week to try some instruments. Alfa will get the credit for the sales that I introduced. Again, she steals my thunder. They should have been mine. But not this time. 😹

Mummy and daddy went out yesterday to listen to a farewell concert for Rod Mcleay who is the conductor of the AYSB. Rod has been conducting this band for over 40 years and it is time to hang up his baton. Rod is a good friend of daddy’s and the band will surely miss him. Daddy turned up with his tuba to play the last piece but was asked to play the whole concert. He said that it was an honour and a great way to pay tribute for all the hard work Rod has done for AYSB.😊

Well my fuzzy cute paws are tired and it’s time to call it a day. Thank you everybody for your love and support for ME. Alfa is asleep now. She has used up so much energy going to and from her food dish and her toilet. Such an exciting life for Alfa…the house cat. Later Baby!!!!
