My dad has played trumpet since the ‘80s and has shopped at this establishment in the past. He has had multiple experiences where the staff was dismissive and rude. Most recently he wanted to sell a few of his trumpets, as he enjoys a fluid collection of buying and selling different horns to compare the artistry of the different brands. The clerk said that the police will let him know if the horns were stolen and that the store has no liability, strongly implying that she believes he stole these instruments and wants to pawn them in the store. Living in the Bay Area I would hope that people are aware that calling the police on a black man for no real reason isn’t a kind thing to do, and that it causes a lot of worry. I would hope that this review causes the staff to consider how they treat their customers in the future. She had no reason to assume that the horns were stolen. He has a thorough, years-long knowledge and experience of being a musician, marching in drum corps, he is a veteran and plays taps with the local veterans group, and her comments were absolutely uncalled for.

Its like a museum! nearly everything is used and refurbished. Rows of trumpets, saxes, some flutes and clarinets, and more. Even have many models that arent made anymore! The people are the kindest and you can call them up to get whatever you need ready in advance.

Excellent place to rent a musical instrument. Super nice folks.

Great music store specializing in horns of many flavors. Larry Sousa is the repair/tune-up man, very good. Highly recommend. The best way to get any questions answered is to call them.

Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. A terrific resource for players of brass instruments.

This place has a variety of Horns that can be rent out or bought. The instruments that can be found range from woodwinds to brass instruments. Mark VI saxophones can be found, as well as older and greatly maintained sopranos, alto, and tenor saxophones.There is a decent range of clarinets and flutes, as well as a variety of products for your instrument for performance or maintenance. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable to most requests.

This is not a music store...it is an instrument museum! Tons of horns, saxes, etc., in display cases. It is worth just walking through, though if the mood strikes, Id say buy something from the friendly, helpful owners.

Nice selection of instruments especially pro quality trumpets and cornets from years gone by. Most in excellent condition. Knowledgeable staff. Collectors will be delighted.

Museum or store? - Both!Great place to look around, tons of brass instruments plus saxes and flutes, some very nice instruments in here!

The employees really know there stuff when it comes to the instruments they are selling, they make sure that they are high quality. They will also do repairs and maintenance on your horn if needed

Get your horns here... Got my mark vi here and havent been more happy with a purchase. Also an incredible atmosphere. Like a museum. Staff is awesome too.

Vintage/Consignments Horns & Flutes Fantastic Maintenance and Repair Services

Knowledgeable. Friendly. Quality instruments. School rentals available.

A brass/wind museum, where you can rent out or buy many of the horns. Interested in opera glass cornets like Bix Beiderbecke played? They probably have Oh, 5 or 6 sitting around. Want to see the amazing mellophonium invented for the Stan Kenton orchestra? Theyve got a pair. Tons of flutes, saxes, trumpets, cornets, etc. Fairly close to a Caltrain station and you need that walk anyway. Also close to a neat downtown area and interesting antique stores and neat restaurants and bars etc so make a day of it.

This is one of the best, if not the best woodwind and brass shop in the country!

The best place on the Peninsula for buying or repairing a horn
