Happy Birthday, DR TOOT !


As you can see, my big sis, Zara skipped her turn again !!! She is definitely getting old… 😸

We had a very busy week, especially daddy…went out a lot for playing the tuba with different groups. Speaking of daddy, he had his birthday this week. He turned 63 years young on Thursday as you might have seen on our instagram.  The DR TOOT Team cerebrated his birthday with a very nice cake. He had another surprise in the evening. He had a concert that night with MCB (Manukau Concert Band) and the conductor, Tom announced his birthday at the front of audience ! The band played “Happy Birthday” and daddy was soooo happy !!!

The Team would like to thank everyone who involved the NZCBA Festival in Auckland this year. We were the one of sponsors and the DR TOOT Team had a pop up store at the event. Also, thank all customers who visited us during the festival. Daddy, mummy, Taka and Jordan were there and happy to see lots of customers 😊Zara and I were pleased too….we did not have to stay at the cat hotel this time 😼

Well, after the festival, the team has been very busy with lots of repairs and mummy has been busy with preparing for another event, Clarinet Weekend, which is happening in two weeks time.

We received a new shipment from Briccialdi Flutes in Italy on Tuesday. Then, one of the student model 203 flutes found a new home in Havelock North next day. The same day, the pre-loved Jupiter trumpet left for a new home in Auckland.

On Saturday, one of our customers, who bought a clarinet and alto sax from us before, purchased the pre-loved Yanagisawa tenor saxophone this time. It will be leaving for a new home on Monday. Happy customer and Happy Alfa 😺

Then, a customer who, phoned up us yesterday, visited us earlier today with her daughter. She wanted to try one of the pre-loved clarinets. She played the Yamaha YCL650 well and left here with the clarinet…another happy customer and Happy Alfa 😺

Even today, daddy had a rehearsal with MSO (Manukau Symphony Orchestra) in the afternoon. Well, Zara is happy as daddy will be at home in the evening 😊
