Senior Cat Moment...🙀

First of all, I must apologise to our followers/readers that my big sis, Zara did not do blog last Sunday. I think she had “senior cat moment” 🙀. I reminded her a few times but…she was tired, I think.

Well, this week was another “meeeeoooowww” week for me ! It started with a Briccialdi flute sales. The lady and her husband visited us on Monday. She was a looking for a new flute and left for home with the Briccialdi intermediate model flute 😻

During the week, two each of brand new BAC trombones and trumpets arrived from USA (yes, we now have a great selection of trumpet and trombones in store), two brand new Backun clarinets have arrived from Canada (yes, our clarinet line up is fuuuuurbulas).  Also, for the first time, some Rigotti reeds from France have arrived…puuuuuurfect ! 😹

On Thursday, it was C day…Yes, C for Cats…mmmmm, it was a Chateau saxophone day 😺  There were two Chateau saxophones in stock and both of them found a new home - the alto sax has gone to Invercargill and the tenor sax has gone to a new home in Auckland. The customer came in and tried a pre-loved Yamaha YTS475 and a Chateau CTS22. He preferred the Chateau which produced bigger and more punchy sound !

Saturday morning, Zara and I went to our vet for an annual vaccination. We are both gooooood 😸 After we came back, Mummy and Daddy opened the shop (yes, we are open Saturdays 9.00am-1.00pm ). It was another busy Saturday ! A pre-loved Jupiter tenor saxophone has found a new home in Auckland…a very familiar face visited DR TOOT and left with the saxophone !

Daddy has been very busy with concerts and rehearsals. He will be away a part of the next week for the Brass Band Championship in Christchurch. He will be playing a tuba with Howick Brass. If you see him in Christchurch, say “DR TOOT” !!!

PS: The photo was taken yesterday...just before off to our vet !
