Maybe chilly outside…but hot at DR TOOT !

The week started very slow with a chilly weather like autumn…it ended up “what a week!” as I am Alfa, Princess Alfa in charge of sales 😻

Thank you so much for all customers who visited us, phoned us and emailed us…! Well, two rooms upstairs are still full of instruments (they are ready to be delivered to schools). So, customers came and had to try instruments in the living room which normally I stay during a day time. I saw and heard lots of very nice music this week 😊

Because it’s still school holidays, some families came and a few people asked about me and Zara. That’s lovely to hear - thank you ! 💝

On Friday, father and son visited us to try a pre-loved alto sax. Mummy and Daddy happened to have a pre-loved Jupiter Artist Series alto saxophone (beautiful silver body and neck with lacquered keys). The son liked the saxophone and they left with the new saxophone !

On Saturday, a family visited us to see the latest arrival, pre-loved Saxgourment Model 6 copper tenor sax and the vintage King Super 20 Series l tenor sax. The son tried both of them and he really loved the Saxgourment tenor sax. He has got the vintage Conn alto sax from us and now the tenor sax. Mummy and Daddy are very happy to see lots of young musos play our instruments 😺

The same day, a customer phoned up to see if we have a pre-loved student model trumpet for his son….well, we happened to have a Yamaha trumpet (sorry, it was not listed on website) and the trumpet is now ready to go to a new home in Wellington J

Today, another Yamaha clarinet YCL450 (our best seller clarinet !) found a new home too. She is leaving for a new home in Wellington too !

More instruments will be listed on our website soon…the rare King tenor sax (above mentioned), Yanagisawa curved soprano sax…6 alto saxophones are on the way to DR TOOT - pre-loved Yamaha YAS34, YAS475, YAS62 with G1 neck and YAS62S with 62neck…and brand new Chateau saxophones x 2 !

Well, my tiny brain has started dizzy…too much, too much…I am off now 😸 Enjoy the rest of your day and have a great week ahead, everyone !!!
