The End is getting closer….

Yes it’s true. The pile on school instruments to be cleaned and serviced is getting smaller. The end of the repairs for school instruments is getting closer 🙀 We have already started on the private repairs and the Team is in full swing for that. Taka is in his “Taka Cave” working on a huge variety of stock and customer‘s woodwind repairs while Daddy and Jordan keep plugging away on the balance of brass & woodwind school instruments. It’s been many years since I have seen Daddy work on as many clarinets and saxophones as he has been doing. Usually Daddy is happy sticking with the brass repairs, but this time of year he is seen behind many clarinets and saxophones. Jordan is still learning but he is doing a good job on the many clarinets and saxophones he has to do. We are getting closer to the end…😺

More goodies have arrived from Japan. Instruments and accessories. A beautiful Buffet R13 Greenline Clarinet as well as a Yamaha YCL450 Clarinet and a Yamaha YTS62 Tenor Sax that was sold before Mummy could even list it. Many of the instruments that have recently arrive are orders made by people and schools. Remember that if you are looking for something special, contact us and we, (Mummy), will do her best to find one for you. This week a Buffet RC A Clarinet with double case has found a new home in Wellington and a Yamaha YTS62 Tenor Sax is now living with a special customer of ours on Waiheke Island. From near and far they go to homes where they will make beautiful music with their new owners 😻

The days here are so beautiful and we are so fortunate to live here in New Zealand where it is healthy and pretty safe. I spend my days eating a little and sleeping a lot inside and outside. Alfa spends her days eating, eating, eating and sleeping indoors. Zara is smart, Zara loving and beautiful, Zara is free….Be like Zara! I hear other cats say this about me. I try and stay as humble as I can 😼

Many things happening in NZ. One of them is the American Cup where boats that look like planes skim the water to see who is the fastest Humans find this exciting. For me it is as exciting as watching grass grow or paint drying. Oh well. It’s that time when I do another exciting thing and sleep on my fat, black, furry pillow. 

Have a great week every body and try and get outside as much as you can.😺
