Kanstul…it’s All about Sound !


It was so funny to see daddy was so excited with Kanstul ๐Ÿ˜ธ Since our first order has left LAX, he was chasing up online everyday. The big parcel was flown by Air Tahiti Nui, which means it stopped over in Tahiti…wow ! Anyway, the parcel was landed in Auckland International Airport last Sunday.
Mummy had been contacting with the NZ Post Broker Team and we had to wait for a few days for the customs clearance. 

It was Anzac Day on Wednesday, so we had to wait till Thursday. Daddy had  a few personal phone call from the Broker Team (Thanks, the Team !) and finally he had a “Go Sign” for the collection around 10.00am (originally told that it would be after 1.00pm!). So, he rushed to the airport and arrived back with a big parcel !!! Mummy and daddy opened up the parcel which contained a beautiful silver plated cornet, two trumpets, a flugelhorn and a trombone….and some mouthpieces….and a gift from Kanstul which was a book about Zig Kanstul who is a father of Jack !

Taka and a few of our customers who are brass players have already tried the instruments and everyone commented that easy to blow, very nice sound and resonates ! Daddy is so happy to receive the very good feedback - Yes, all about sound ๐Ÿ˜Ž  Zara and I wish that all instruments will find a new home soon in NZ ! BTW, DR TOOT is now listed as a dealer on the Kanstul website…cool ๐Ÿ™€

As I mentioned earlier, it was Anzac Day and day off on Wednesday. Daddy played the tuba with Howick Brass Band twice at the services. It was a huge crowd !

It’s the last week of the school holidays, and it was quiet saleswise but it has been very busy with repairs. Lots of instruments keeps arriving in from all over NZ. I didn’t make a big sale this week…or I didn’t copy Zara but the last student model of Briccialdi flute has found a new home in Papakura ๐Ÿ˜Š
More flutes will be arriving from Italy in a few days, and also the Selmer Paris Series lll alto sax is due to arrive in a few day at DR TOOT…never dull moment ๐Ÿ˜‰

Hope that everyone had a awesome weekend…the new school term starts tomorrow – Be kind to unkind cats, hehehehe…that’s all from me, Alfa, Princess Alfa ๐Ÿ˜บ๐Ÿ˜บ๐Ÿ˜บ
