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.HeinzSwitzerland

Such an awesome store with a dedicated owner and a large eclectic assortment of quality instruments. Some of which I couldnt identify. Picked up a reasonably priced unique, handmade Kalimba for my daughter and had a hard time leaving with just that!

I cant believe how my life has come full circle. I shopped and bought my Nakai Cedar & Redwood Bass Flute aeons ago when your store was at Ghiradelli Square. Here I am almost 30 years later buying from you in yet another Drone flute. I feel blessed to have had Kevin and Thorn touch my life with music. Its enabled me to use Music with the hospice and palliative patients that I serve. Thank you and Blessings to your business.Om, Peace, Namaste,K - My User name is an honor to my dear Woo who after 14 years went to the Rainbow Bridge last August 2020.

Clock collection of instruments! Allow plenty of time for browsing.

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

This is the only place I know where you can actually find and try a wide variety of historic and world instruments. Limited hours but that is more than made up for by the friendly and helpful staff.

Magical trove of instruments from around the world, with friendly and expert staff to guide you. A wonderful resource.

Possibly the most incredible shop in the world for the musically adventurous. You dont even have to go there with a plan! Bring $20 and youll find a small, amazing, and unexpected soundmaker that will last you a lifetime.

Pretty rude customer service. I was outside at 5 till noon and the owner didnt 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.

Best place to have your instrument tuned & maintained. The help staff worked hard to connect me with fellows in both Berkeley & San Francisco for a live gig at the most charming venues. Ask how to meet instrument coaches if you want to network with fellow musicians to complete your eclectic quartet or big bands. A complete range of imported instruments from all around the world. Every music enthusiast will feel right at home here at Lark in the Morning in Berkeley West Brae district. Top marks all across the board!

WONDERFUL customer service! I’ve been so impressed with their communication. As an online customer I’ve received speedy responses to questions, access to quality products, and wonderful customer service. Highly recommend!

While they didnt have the particular thing I was looking for... capo for a wide necked dulcimer...they had just about everything else. Great place just to visit and learn. Curious instruments from all over the place.

Bought several instruments and they were all quality instruments at a fair price. Staff very helpful. Will return.

This place is awesome. The Staff is very friendly and just rad. All sorts of worldly instruments. I went in specifcally looking for Afro-Latin instruments and they didnt disappoint. I found what I was looking for and more! If youre looking for something unique and hard to find check them out first!

If I lived close enough to visit, I would never want to leave! For a musician who is interested in World music or Early music, Lark in the Morning is heaven. They carry everything one needs!

Great people, and unique musical instruments. I have shopped their catalog and online for years. This was my first chance to visit.

Needed a replacement Guzheng bridge, thankfully they had it. My only complaint they charged $15.00 for shipping it using a padded envelope.

This place is a gem. The staff were extremely knowledgeable, and the price was great. You come here for the service and the wide range of instruments here.

Off the beaten path, world musical instrument shop. Exceptional choices in such a small shop.

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.

Such a wonderful place! In a small house set back from the road a bit with foliage and a walkway leading to the door, one then enters a modest sized showroom jampacked with shelves and walls brimming with delightful musical instruments: percussion, wind, strings; from popular classics to somewhat rare or obscure or experimental. And the variety is just too large for me to list.Prices are good and the proprietors are friendly and helpful.Touching IS allowed and I couldnt help handling and trying out many items. Each time there I wish I had more money to spend, since they have instruments and accessories I dont find in other music shops.

Delightful folks running a pretty shop in Berkeley. So many more instruments there than I can say possibly name! I brought my mandolin in with some questions, left with answers, and wasnt charged anything.

Great little shop with a lot of goods. Prices were good and reflected quality of instrument.

Great place! Good prices.

Ecellent for worship and for concerts

I do believe this may be my favorite store ever!

Eclectic music with a smile.
