Beautiful weather…Spring is here ! ๐ŸŒท๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒผ

We had a gorgeous spring weather here in Auckland during the weekend. Lots of things happened and my tiny brain tries to catch up everything ๐Ÿ˜บ

Mio had her first week at DR TOOT, All Blacks won their first game, and Howick Brass got lots of cups at the ABA (Auckland Bands Association) Band Contest on Saturday.

Mio from Japan started on Monday and she is doing very well. She is staying with us at the moment and it’s good thing is that she loves cats….hehehehe. My big sis Zara is a “love me” cat, so she is already sleeping on her lap if daddy is out at night time ๐Ÿ™€

The DR TOOT workshop looks organized and very good - The layout of Taka’s bench has changed and his has more space. All pads, corks, felts..etc are now in one place and looks very tidy and professional ๐Ÿ˜Š

It seems to be much busier at DR TOOT. There are some instruments lined up for repairs/services and instruments keep coming in….I, Alfa as a PA of mummy, must apologize to our customers that the current waiting time is up to 2 weeks. The Team tries all our best and work hard !!!

Speaking of “work hard”, the members of Howick Brass played very well at the contest and came in the first of C grade - Well done, everyone !!! And of course, the players of All Blacks…Well done, boys…Go Go, Blacks ๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿ‰

On Friday, another instrument from Japan found a new home in Auckland. It was a Yamaha soprano sax YSS475 and a special order by one of our customers, who missed the last one we had in stock. Well, as Zara and I always say if you are looking for an instrument which we do not have in stock, please contact our mummy and she will try her best to find one for you !!!

Also, daddy and mummy have made the first order of BAC (Best American Craftsmen) trumpets and trombones from USA - What an exciting news…they are coming to New Zealand !

I will stop here…and enjoy the spring from the window ๐Ÿ˜ธ๐Ÿ˜ธ๐Ÿ˜ธ
