What a week…This week started with a
beautiful weather and without Taka and Jordan. Less 2 team members means that
it was soooooo busy here 😸
On Tuesday, one of pre-loved alto
saxophones has found a new home in Auckland. The father visited us in the
afternoon and he purchased the Yamaha YAS62LSE with Custom E1 neck alto sax for
his son as a Christmas present….wow, someone is so lucky !!!
The next day, the mother visited us in the
morning and she purchased the Yamaha YAS62S with G1 neck for her son…Yes,
another YAS62 has found a new home in Auckland 😊
Also, Taka was back to work on Wednesday
and it was soooo good to see him again at DR TOOT 😊He
had a great time with his family from Japan. We are happy for him and his new
wife !
It’s already been so warm this year….nice
sunny summer weather here.
On Friday, one of our customers visited us
with his wife. He is a saxophone player and alto sax collector. He wanted to sell
a part of his saxophone collection. He brought a few saxophones and showed them
to us. The two of them will be serviced, set up and tested by Taka soon. Mummy
will take photos and list them on our website as soon as they are ready. One of
them is a very very rare and special (it sounds like me 😲) alto sax, Yanagisawa WO37PGP which is sold silver body and neck
and everything is Pink Gold Plated…meow, meow, meow….this saxophone is normally
made to order and not available at a store like other saxophones. It is a very
expensive saxophone and mummy and daddy think that it would be a first time and
last time to see the saxophone. Also, his another sax, Yamaha Custom YAS875EX
with Custom G1 neck will be available for sale.
The same day, we had another special
visitor…a very well-know, Jazz saxophonist and The University of Auckland Senior Lecturer, Roger
Manins !!! He brought his Selmer Paris Mark Vl tenor saxophone for Taka to work
on it. Also, he tried out our stock, Mark Vl tenor sax. He was so impressed
with the saxophone and how it has been set up. We all heard that he played at
DR TOOT…what a sound !!!
Yesterday, DR TOOT hosted an annual Howick
Brass Band BBQ here…which means that Zara and I had to stay at mummy and daddy’s
bedroom for a few hours. Oh, well, Zara doesn’t like this but I don’t mind….hehehehe.
Zara and I did not see anyone but we heard lots of laugh and voice, so I guess
it went well 😸
Oh, two more things…yes, a Christmas tree
is up now. You know, I like staying under the tree,,,, meow 😻 Last thing, mummy and daddy picked up a car today, which is going
to be a DR TOOT delivery car…It’s silver colour….Yeahhhhh, it’s very good choice
!!!
