Just a few notes from the office of Morrie Zahner. Hello to all you brave bandsmen that ventured into Sydney for the 2009 Nationals. Sydney is a great place with lots of fantastic people to meet, but how do they find their way around and not get lost or constantly caught out by those speed cameras. So far so good I haven't yet got any unwanted bills from the NSW traffic Dept. It is just great to catch up with so many customers that we have done repairs or restorations to their instruments. Unfortunately my side of these events is not so much hearing the bands play or playing music myself, but just talk talk talk talk talk about instruments. I did get the opportunity to watch the marching parades and to see how well the Townsville band marched. I stayed with the Townsville band [ boy can some of them drink and a few tips how they do that too ] well even late into the nights questions about repairing instruments was a common subject point. It was especially great to spend some quality time with Jason Curtis who is the technical side behind the development of this web site.
It took till the end of the week to get back to the workshop and then it's just that head down and back into it. I am loving this recession though, because some days the phone doesn't ring so often and I can start to focus on those more difficult repairs and projects. Currently we are running at about 20 instruments behind at any one time. Hopefully I have some new surprises before the year ends with our monthly performance music mentor lessons up and running. As well as the completion of our teaching rooms and large green screen multimedia room. Well that's it for now. And remember what Shakespeare wrote to all you Bass players. Add some depth to your music and play bass. [no he didn't]. He wrote: "tu-ba or not tu-ba flat is the question?" Morrie Better Sounds Australia
