Hornucopia

"Very nice and helpful folks here. The shop is very old school, like a door into the past. Knowledgable and friendly service. Cannot recommend this place enough!"

"I rent a bass clarinet here and the service is amazing. Very personable, true experts, with every instrument and accessory you can imagine."

"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."

"It's like a museum! nearly everything is used and refurbished. Rows of trumpets, saxes, some flutes and clarinets, and more. Even have many models that aren't made anymore! The people are the kindest and you can call them up to get whatever you need ready in advance."

"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."
