Goodies in Goodies out

It’s been nice winter weather here in Auckland. It sounds that my big sis, Zara had a very good sales week last week…I had a good one too this week 😸

A gorgeous pre-loved Holton double French Horn (nickel silver finish) arrived at DR TOOT on Tuesday. Daddy serviced, set up and tested…and it has found a new home after a couple of days later in Auckland. The new young owner was very happy with the condition and sound !

The same day, one of our pre-loved Yamaha clarinets has found a new home. It has gone to another young muso in Auckland.

Then, earlier today, a lady, who made an appointment with mummy and daddy, visited us for the saxophone trial. She was interested in one of our pre-loved Yamaha alto sax and tried the YAS475 and loved it. She has left with the saxophone and smile 😊

Yes, you can visit us during weekends - please make sure to arrange the time with mummy or daddy in advance !

Lots of new stuff have arrived from overseas….new Backun Vocalise Bb clarinet mouthpieces from Canada, Bambu cleaning swabs for alto sax, tenor sax, Bb clarinet, bass clarinet and bassoon from Argentina, pads from Italy, accessories from Australia….mummy was busy sorting them out 😸

It was the 2nd week for the new repair apprentice, Jordan - he seems doing very well. Zara and I witnessed, hehehehe πŸ˜„

My high light for this week was our annual checkups at our vet on Saturday. It’s good to be checked up but Zara and I do not like how human checks up our temperature….more painful than needles ! Anyway, we are happy to know that both of us are fine and healthy πŸ˜‰

Another busy week is coming up as the team will be at the NZ Concert Band Festival (2-4 August) as we are one of the sponsors and are having a pop up store !!! I wish I could be there to support the team  πŸ™€πŸ˜ΊπŸ˜Έ
