Another interesting week at House of Toot 😻

As all we know, another week of Level 4 lockdown in Auckland. As we mentioned before, it’s been quiet without seeing our customers…and Zara and I are missing to see lots of cars with customers !!!

Nowadays, we see only courier vans and drivers…but it is still fun to see different courier vans and drivers come to deliver goods and pick up orders from our customers around NZ. Thank you, customers…without your support, we cannot EAT 😸

On Tuesday, we received a pre-loved Yamaha French Horn from Japan as Mummy posted it on instagram. She has found a new home in Auckland at the same day - It was totally coincidence ! A customer emailed to us the other day and they were looking for a French horn for their son. The lucky French horn was out of our door next day !

The same day, Wednesday, another pre-loved instrument, Yamaha alto sax YAS475 found a new home too. It has gone to Dunedin 😸

Speaking of Wednesday, it happened a lot at House of Toot…ummm, Daddy was fine in the morning and after breakfast, he was at workshop as usual. Then, he felt very dizzy suddenly…he was lying down for a while in the living room. It was not really good timing, but after a long wait his new tuba has finally arrived safely from Miraphone in Germany !!! He was sooo excited Monday, Tuesday…and Wednesday, the tuba is here but he could not play it. After he unpacked it, he saw the tuba and had to go to bed to rest…Poor, Daddy.

Thursday, Daddy went to see his doctor (really one 😼) with Mummy. As you may know, Mummy does not drive, so they took Uber. They came back and Daddy went back to bed. We were so worried…especially, Zara was !

Then, Friday, we all heard that Daddy played the new tuba, Miraphone New Yorker CC tuba…wow, what a sound…and wow, Daddy is back ! Saturday and Sunday, he practised a lot and we all heard the noise…no, the sound 😹

Hopefully, we will move to Level 3 this coming week, Auckland !!! Meow, meow, meow 😻
