Stay Safe and Well !!!


It’s near the end of March, but it’s been still mild and warm sometimes. 

It’s been very strange and weird nowadays as watching mummy and daddy washing hands all the time or they put some gels on hands and rubbing quite often….Or, mummy often sprays everywhere or wipes down door knobs 🙀

Zara and I watch the news and we are aware what’s happening right now all over the world.  Human world can be complicated and hectic.  Our thoughts go to Italy…Especially, mummy cannot believe to hear the news everyday.

At DR TOOT, we are fine and our business is as usual so far….hope it will stay this way and we do hope that everything will be back to normal very soon.  We do not want to spread the virus in New Zealand and the Team try our best to clean and sanitise instruments, mouthpieces and cases very well.

We are grateful that some customers are still visiting us everyday as well as our online store.  This week, three clarinets and a trombone have found a new home !  A pre-loved Yamaha clarinet YCL650 has gone to Gisborne.  Also, another pre-loved clarinet has left for a new home in Methven. On Thursday, a lady and her son visited us and purchased a brand new Backun Alpha clarinet for her daughter….Yes, Alpha (not Alfa) has found a new home in Auckland 😸The same day, a brand new BAC Apprentice trombone found a new home in Kumeu via Trade Me.  

A big parcel arrived from Japan too…it was a pre-loved Yamaha Sousaphone !  It will be serviced and repaired and will have a new Protec case soon….and it will be ready for sale 😊

Things are really changing for our two legged friends. Daddy won’t be playing at many concerts or rehearsals as they are all on hold for now. This means that Daddy will be home more which will at least make Zara happy.  Hope you are all well and stay that way. Zara and I are always well, although sometimes Zara has a KAKA…..You know what I mean. Its an age thing. Keep cool 😻😸
