I have a very pleasant experience with this local shop while buying a digital Yamaha piano. Gary is very knowledgeable, and he treats you well. The offer he gave me was significantly lower than any other authorized dealer in the market, (both online and local). Sorry to hear that they had to downsize their shop, but they will be my to-go stop for any future musical instrument needs.
Amazing music store. Really friendly and helpful staff. Best place to buy accessories for any instrument. I bought an Otto Link Metal mouthpiece for Tenor and they let me test it out. They also gave me a nice discount:) I would give this place 6 stars out of 5 if I could.
tiny tiny shop. sad to see they downsized and the people renting musical instruments etc. has declined over the years.
Friendly and they know their stuff.

One the nicest business man I have ever met I felt like Charlie Buckets in Willy Wonkas chocolate factory. He is very polite and patience. He greet us very nicely when we walk in. He probably has the best selection of new and vintage upright basses and he is very knowledgeable about what he is talking about he spent a hour and a half taking us through he inventory of over 70 different upright basses. bassist or not any musician should check this place out and also meet his dog.
Fine instruments in person and on the web
Bought my main instrument from Steve many years ago. He took the time to help me find what was right, patiently and carefully, and as a result, it’s still may favorite instrument. He listens, pays attention, and helps his clients zero in on what they want. 6 out of 5….
I put my guitar on consignment with Steve about 2 years ago. He lent it out for long spans of time without my permission and eventually sold it without informing me. Then he said he needed the money for his own bills, so he couldn’t pay me. He’s obviously got problems that should keep anyone from trusting him. I’m taking him to small claims court over it.

Love their professional, and my daughter’s piano skill getting improve a lot , thanks !
My daughter has a passion for music. I have observed a few piano teachers but I wouldn’t recommend any of them. A few years later I met Teacher Amanda. I enrolled my daughter in her class and it was the best choice I have ever made. My daughter loves the lessons and was able to learned it. Teacher Amanda helped my daughter improved a lot on her piano skills. The service and everything is worth it. This school won’t disappoint you. It lives up to it’s reputation. I’m glad we found this music school and will continue enrolling.
At first my daughter was only taking the theory group class with Ms. Crystal. She is very knowledgeable. My daughter has succeeded on her theory test and received a distinction from the ABRSM exam. We then decided to take the piano lessons with her. My daughter loves her and the good relationship with Ms. Crystal has also motivated her on practicing piano. We couldn’t be happier to have her as our piano teacher! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great piano teacher!
4. Wonderful Music School
Address: Vallejo Ct, Millbrae, CA 94030 , Millbrae , California , United States
I’ve absolutely had the pleasure of doing business for them for a small loan, and could not gush more about how generous, warm, and friendly this family owned business is. Jacob is by all means, spectacular, in every sense of the word. I left this establishment with not only reassurance, but a new friend. I would absolutely recommend this place anyone looking for any of their services. They’re not looking out for themselves, they’re looking out for you, and that speaks volumes. If need be, I would ALWAYS come back, because I’m reassured that I come first. Yes, absolutely would recommend.
Excellent customer service. Terry is such a nice woman and very helpful and informative about selling and purchasing jewelry. Definitely recommend going here.
This people are pros
Excellent customers service
highly recommended
I stopped in today without an appointment and was seen right away by George. I had a pair of diamond stud earrings to sell and a little gold ring and I left with a check in… less than 20 minutes!? They are friendly, professional, and warm at Numis International Inc. and I’ll be back if I have other jewelry buying or selling needs! Thanks, guys 🙂
Felt rushed and cheated
Numis is not the same as it was a long time ago. I first went there in 1977, 45 yrs ago when I was 11 yrs old. Coins were to my hobby then.
Larry and Joe introduced me to bullion buy low and sell high. I was hooked by 1979 buying silver when the Texas Hunt brother’s trying to corner the market made it go to the moon. Just went there on Wed March 16th 2022 to get some kruggerands shocked none be purchased SHOCKING! the place felt cold like a used car lot. Sorry but will take business elsewhere hopefully find a new place that has not been bought out. It’s been a pleasure to do business with you guys sorry!!!
I am old customer there for two yrs. I try to buying a jewellery this afternoon , mr Tony is too rough for me. And ask me to go out of our shop . Call to police to come let me run away . I am strong to complain the customer service in this shop in Millbrea. I ask for talk with is boss, they said the I am not do a business with you. I recommend no go there.
This place is a rip off you can even see a video on YouTube how they went over there and they try to Cheat these people , on 5 Kpix professional people buyer beware Check the video before you go to the store I think they got over on me while I know they did
Con artists dressed nicely, went in with a necklace worth between $500-700 that was check by a jeweler less than a month ago. The guy had the nerve to offer me $25.

Friendly staff and ecclectic assortment of instruments! I am a collector of world instruments and love shops like this which offer a wider variety than your standard wall of boring guitars and one ukulele. Glad they’re here!
Excellent service and great products!
We are pleased that the store has helped my son with his music needs always and for many years.
Great Service!! Friendly!!
Cozy place, new and used instruments, variety of sheet music, they also suggested cello lessons.
Nice instrument. Closed when sing reads open.
Fraudulent. I rented an instrument for my daughter’s school year then returned it. They continued to charge my card so I called them and they said they would stop charging and refund me. They didn’t and continued to charge me. Then 3 months later ($350 extra in EXTRA rental fees) and I call them and they say they don’t have the instrument! They want me to pay for it! Absolutely insane. Don’t EVER use them.
I came in to sell my 2013 gibson. Right when i walked into the store i was greeted by a lady who worked there who immediately said “sorry, not interested”. She didn’t even take a look at the guitar. I’m a little annoyed that the front of their store says “buy-sell-rentals” but it doesnt seem like they buy anything. Drove all the way here for nothing…
Musical instruments shop with a few sound proofed rooms in the back for lessons. They carry unknown brands and charge a premium for rental, even for elementary students.

Thomas was great! He was referred to me to fix my daughters cello. He worked with me to find the best option to repair it and did an amazing job! He was quick to respond over email and saw me the next day! He knows what he’s doing.
Thomas is very easy to work with. He listens to my preferences and sends a personalized batch of bows that fit my playing criteria. He is attentive through the process.
Thomas at Bay Fine Strings was terrific to work with on the purchase of my Dolfinos shoulder rest system! I found Bay Fine Strings from the Dolfinos website where they are listed as the accredited reseller in the United States. Dolfinos is located in Switzerland and the shipping estimates were approximately 3-4 weeks. I wanted to try a total of three chinrests and placed my order after chatting with Thomas. He sent the Dolfinos system and the two additional chinrests out to me the next morning and I had them in Florida a few days later. I found the right chinrest for me and returned the two extra chinrests. Thomas refunded my payment for the extra chinrests promptly. I love my new Dolfinos shoulder rest system and chinrest! It’s the most comfortable setup I’ve ever had. Overall it has been a great experience and I highly recommend Bay Fine Strings. I will definitely work with Thomas and Bay Fine Strings in the future!

Address: 1475 Rollins Rd, Burlingame, CA 94010 , Millbrae , California , United States
Irina is a wonderful piano teacher! She is kind, supportive, clear, and finds each student’s pace and matches the learning to each person. My mom has been a piano teacher for 40 years, classically trained at Juilliard, and has extremely high standards, and she interviewed Irina before we started and loves her so that says a lot!
We absolutely LOVE BMS and Irina. She is the most kind and patient teacher. She does her best to accommodate when she can and is helpful and empathetic. My children have excelled so much at piano from her teachings. Any time someone asks me for a music school referral, I always refer them to BMS.
Irina is a wonderfully motivating and thoughtful teacher! As an adult student going back to piano after many years, she has helped me improve over the five years I have been taking lessons with her. She knows when to re-focus my practice when I am struggling and also when to push me forward. She is very kind and supportive and has introduced me to music I would not have thought I could play! I would highly recommend Irina and BMS to anyone considering piano lessons!

As a professional musician, I feel both qualified and compelled to praise Wendy on her incredible technique and fantastic teaching ability. I don’t play the piano, but as a classically trained guitarist, can fully appreciate the complexity of Bach’s counterpoint, Mozart’s dreamy Andantes and Beethoven’s fiery sonatas. Ever since Wendy took my daughter under her wing, she has become quite the little virtuoso. We look forward to the lessons and afterwards, there is always a great time reviewing the depth of knowledge that comes with every note. We can’t say enough about Wendy and Aria Music. Until I move from Florida to San Francisco to join my family, this has become more than just music lessons; rather an integral part of our life and a bonding family experience. Thank you Wendy!
I am glad I found Wendy
who is very patient , knowledgeable and friendly for my 10 years old son. He has made excellent progress and improved a lot just in few weeks. Ms. Wendy is very good at communicating with parents making sure the student is fully engaged practicing piano effectively at home. My son is thriving under her teaching and he’s progressing much more than with his former teacher who taught him for five years.
Ms. Wendy has held recital regularly along with group lessons. Those experiences have made my son accomplished a lot in his learning process. She is professional and understanding as well and I highly recommend her.
Wendy is an Exceptional piano teacher with more than 25 years of expertise! Patient, knowledgeable, and tailored lessons to each individual’s skill level. I Highly recommend!
15. ViBO Music School
Address: 488 San Mateo Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066 , Millbrae , California , United States
What I love most about ViBO Music School is their ability to customize the music lessons to match with the student’s need/preference/personality. They offer excellent music groups (rocks, Jazz, classical) where the students can play in a group and perform in the public. My daughter can play the piano well but she lacks the confidence. Having her play in the music bands (rocks and Jazz) really help her boost her confidence.
Victor Lin is just a wonderful musician and owner of ViBO. He listens to us about our concern and he works hard to help our daughter with her confidence issue. ViBO does not get into competitions because they want the students to learn to love music and play with their hearts. Our daughter has been with ViBO for over 4 years now and we are so happy with the progress that she has made.
Took advantage of their new student discount special for private lessons for a month and have really enjoyed it! I am learning guitar and feel like I’ve learned so much, more than I expected in a month. My instructor is Tyler and his patience, encouragement and clear communication make it very easy and fun to learn! Definitely signing up for more lessons next year!
I Took guitar lessons. My Instructors name was either Tyler or Kevin… I’m not great with names. But this was the best money I spent in a long time. I will say if your an adult look in to private lessons because It is geard towards children and teens. But in just 2 short months I was able to play at my first Open Mic Night! Abd when my schedule becomes more consistent I will be back for the intermediate classes!! Thanks Vibo!
Great place for lessons
Vibo offers music lessons for kids on a wide range of musical instruments. The staff and instructors are friendly and the shop also sells a limited range of instruments and recording equipment. Off street parking in nearby public lots is available, but waiting space is limited for parents who hang out during their kid’s half hour lesson. They also coordinate recitals and concerts for their students.

Took my BabyLock to another store near Willow Glen for repair, was told they’d need to order a part. After waiting 6 months, I took it to this store and it was fixed in a week. Definitely worth making the trek from Mountain View. Great customer service, very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
Would not take any of my machines anywhere else! Angie is very friendly, helpful and informative. If I ever need to purchase a new machine this will be my go to.
