I like the way that your exposure has brought out the patina of many yrs use for these instruments - and the 'posing' in the window makes it all come together. "Beaudy-mate"

Thanks! Great repair shop for brass and woodwinds. So far, the developers and scenesters haven't
found a toe-hold in the old Mimico, Long Branch and New Toronto 'hoods. Rents are still affordable for shops, walk-ups, flats and houses. Was once a grad student ghetto for University of Toronto thanks to the street car line that still connects it to the downtown subways.
