Family Band , very versatile, plays all different kind of music . We drive from the Bay Area to Sonoma twice a month just to hear a little german music and dance to their music. Love their music!

I’ve purchased a number of items here pretty much since they opened for business, and including just recently. Everything from a standup bass to several new and used mixing consoles, guitar strings etc. I also drive into the City almost every week to play music, and I still prefer shopping at Loud and Clear here in Cotati.
Best in world
Not just a music store, this place serves as a cultural center for musicians and those involved in producing music in the north bay. I have met great people here, as well as finding some of my favorite instruments and equipment for a home recording studio. I’d give these guys six stars if I could!
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, relaxed atmosphere.
Friendly staff, great selection.
Good place to consign music gear, they sold my Roland Guitar Synthesizer for a better price than expected.
They’d rather make $50 or so than lose a customer and get a negative feedback. Not sure that’s a winning business strategy in the long run, but best of luck.
So, I’ve been in here twice since I’ve moved from East Bay to Rohnert Park last year. On both separate occasions the staff watches me like I’m going to steal every item in the store somehow. Very, very, very uncomfortable to look up and have every worker in the store staring at you from across the room, yet not one word of helpfulness or a ‘hi’ or anything. I wont be stepping foot in ‘this boy’s club again’.
Really tight space with a great selection of various instruments. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. 10/10 would recommend!
Great music stores in Santa Rosa.
Don’t let the unassuming exterior fool you. If you need new instruments, music, or just strings, this should be your go-to place. Friendly knowledgeable folks with a passion for music run the show, and they are great at listening to find out what you need. They have a great selection of keys, strings, and percussion. I want one of everything!
A lot of instruments, friendly staff. Very cramped space though, otherwise I’d give it a better rating.
Me gusta mucho ir a este lugar a comprar cuerdas para mi guitarra y ver la variedad de guitarras que tienen y tocarlas un poco, puedo encontrar las púas para la guitarra y es uno de los pocos lugares aquí en Santa Rosa donde puedes encontrar cuerdas para bajo quinto
Very expensive but has some good brands to pick from
I am looking to buy or rent a grand piano but after several strange phone conversations, I give up and will take my business elsewhere!
Very rude and unfriendly person who keeps changing his story. What a weird experience.
It is very sad that a business that has been around for over 30 years can treat a person the way Wayne tread me today. Ive purchased several instruments from this shop and never had any problems. Today I was yelled and cursed at, and shockingly was pushed out the shop. All this because I wanted a return or exchange on a item I purchased 3 days ago.This may sound hard to believe, I am still in shock about this whole situation. I’ve never allowed anybody to curse and humiliate me the way I was today. I don’t know if Wayne has any mental issues and he had a break down, but I would like to warn any body going to this place to be very cautious. Specially if you are bring your kids. I would not want anybody to get hurt. Mental health is a very serious thing and I hope the owner of this place seeks help, because the behavior I saw today is not from someone who is mentally stable.
I have only dealt with the owner Wayne Searcy one time and it was very unpleasant. He cussed me out on the phone because he didn’t like my price for a service he wanted me to provide to him. I tried to call him back and politely talk with him and hopefully have a more civil conversation but he cussed me out again and hung up. In my opinion as a business owner this is completely unprofessional and I would caution anyone looking to spend their money at this store to stay away. If an owner treats his customers this way then they don’t deserve your business period!

This is a remarkable place, with an extraordinary selection of instruments. If you are looking for unusual, or foreign, or hard to find instruments, you must check out Lark in the morning. Very helpful as well. I bought two instruments after being disappointed in San Francisco at several music stores. A must-visit.
I bought a Master Works Custom Russell Cook Psaltery. The quality of the instrument is excellent. The replacement string set was also delivered three weeks later.

Such an awesome store with a dedicated owner and a large eclectic assortment of quality instruments. Some of which I couldn’t identify. Picked up a reasonably priced unique, handmade Kalimba for my daughter and had a hard time leaving with just that!
Needed a replacement Guzheng bridge, thankfully they had it. My only complaint they charged $15.00 for shipping it using a padded envelope.
I am a teacher and have used this company musical wands for transitions in my classroom. The soft sound is perfect!
Unfortunately, for the first time I felt cheated by this company. I was looking for a set of four wands to give my team of second grade teachers as a welcome back to school gift. I thought I had found the set. On the company page they show a set of 4 wands listed as assorted but the customer can’t choose the designs. I was OK with that. Little that I knew that I had to scroll to almost the end of the page and read where it said $15.00 for one.
The price is outrageous for only 1. I would have never purchased this for that price. To top it off, the hummingbird (which was pretty), was damaged with a bent wing on arrival.
I did not return it because I did not want to spend anymore money for shipping and handling.
Please change your misleading advertisement!!
Pretty rude customer service. I was outside at 5 till noon and the owner didn’t come in till quarter after, walking in without so much as a word. Never turned on the open sign. Once inside I asked a few questions which were met with very curt responses. Once he cut me off mid sentence I was over this place. Stick to broken guitar or starving musician if you want actual service regarding exotic instruments.
Never called back after leaving messages and never answers the phone I am out of state and cannot go to the store to ask my questions
