Tauranga Calling


It’s been still warm and feels like summer, despites autumn 😸 The photo shows that I am relaxing a bit outside this afternoon...without leash ! 😉

Our efficient repair team almost caught up all repairs……and we received more instruments for repair this week ! Lots of saxophones arrived from all around country.

Sales wise, it started slow and I had a bit pressure from Zara. She kept saying to me that “Did you sell anything  today?” “Are you working hard enough ?”…etc. She can be pushy, you know !? 😅

Well, lots of accessories went out as usual….reeds, mouthpieces…etc. They travel all around NZ - that’s cool 😊

Two pre-loved instruments arrived from Japan, Yamaha flute 411 and Yamaha Custom trombone YSL820Gll. Also, mummy and daddy had an opportunity to purchase 3 clarinets locally. They will be serviced and listed on our website soon !

The Team always has a monthly meeting which is on the last Friday of every month, and it was on Friday for March. I also sat down with everyone and listened, of course…as a PA of mummy 😼

The same day, a pre-loved Selmer Series ll alto saxophone found a new home in New Plymouth and left here…it should be delivered to the new owner tomorrow. Yesterday, another alto sax, Yamaha YAS62 found a new home in Auckland - Father and son visited DR TOOT and he tried the saxophone and loved it ! They left with the saxophone and happy face - goody goody gum drops gum drops 😺

Mummy and daddy have been talking about the Youth Jazz Competition in Tauranga…brah brah brah…Ummm, it sounds that we have to stay at our Cat Hotel for a few nights. Yes, DR TOOT will be closed on Friday, the 5th as they are going to Tauranga ! DR TOOT will have a pop up store at the event on Friday and Saturday.

Oh, well…Zara won’t like this but for me, it’s an opportunity to meet other cats, meow meow meow !!! 😻 Here Zara thinks she rules, but at the Cat Hotel….she is just a commoner, but don’t tell her that 🙀😋😸
