Happy Father’s Day in Bubble !!!

Auckland is still on Alert Level 4 and it’s been quiet here…No customers…No phone calls…but courier drivers still come for deliveries and pickups, which makes me happy somehow…humanoids !

Daddy tried to catch up all repairs and long waited a pair of vintage clarinets finally completed this week and have gone up to their home in Whakatane. With a new Protec case, they looked fabulous 😻

A parcel from Japan and Australia arrived safely this week. There were two pre-loved instruments from Japan - Yanagisawa alto sax A902 (bronze saxophone) and Yamaha Custom SEV Bb clarinet. Daddy serviced both of them, and the Yanagisawa saxophone has already found a new home in Hamilton ! It was delivered to a customer, who is one of our long term customers, and they are very happy with the new saxophone !  Yep, Mummy read an email from them to me this morning 😼

A parcel from Australia was a full of accessories…Mummy tried to re-stock all the time. More Gonzalez reeds have been ordered and they should be arriving here soon.

Last night, we had a phone call from the owner of Zara’s siblings. Sadly, Zara was told that her real brother, Pretty has passed away…Zara told me that she doesn’t remember him much. I also have some siblings but I came to the House of Toot after a few months later I was born, so I really don’t remember them at all.

Daddy has decided to make an adaption about his tuba…So, he says “Good bye” to his tuba, Anton soon when Alert Level changes, Anton is leaving for a new home in New Plymouth. Well, about his new tuba, maybe Zara can tell you more next week.

It was a Father’s Day in New Zealand today and Zara and I wrote a card and gave him big hugs and kisses…hehehe. For us, it is hard to write a card…you know, but we did it anyway 😺😸
