Get your horns here… Got my mark vi here and haven’t been more happy with a purchase. Also an incredible atmosphere. Like a museum. Staff is awesome too.
This is a special place. Many used horns and very knowledgeable staff. Always a pleasure to come to Hornucopia.
Nice selection of instruments especially pro quality trumpets and cornets from years gone by. Most in excellent condition. Knowledgeable staff. Collectors will be delighted.
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.
