Truly unbelievable. I highly recommend you do not waste your time patronizing this store. I am a professional violinist. I am able to live in a nicer area of San Francisco due to my talent and experience with the violin specifically. I have had the amazing opportunity to play violins worth near a quarter of a million dollars just to show my style of playing. I am recorded on many works of music. And usually I am greeted with kindness and excitement. Apparently my aesthetic was too much for these people. As they refused to allow me to even touch or try out a German made full size Guarnari copy for a low price of 2700$. (Yes I know this sounds like a lot, but for professional grade instruments, this is not a high price at all.) I had to basically force them to even show me anything above student grade. And even then, they talked down to me, treated me as if I were unintelligent, uninformed riff raff, and were purposely vague about anything having to do with the information on the violin I wanted to look at. The old woman at the desk was literally saying insults under her breath, and making noises of disapproval when I asked about their stock. She had me believing that they had only two student grade violins available for purchase. The elderly gentleman who seemed to be an employee was whisked a few feet away when he began to give me too much information it seemed. I told them very politely that I was extremely disappointed in The way they were choosing to interact with me, as I had never been there before and they had no idea of my budget for a new instrument. I had a guarnari copy, full size, German made, from the 1920s without any lacquer and an extended bridge that caused a very specific indentation on the body stolen from me in San Leandro a few months ago. There was a violin that matched that exact look down to the past details on consignment in this shop. I had nothing in my mind about This being my stolen violin. However, considering I was dressed novel,and yes I have tattoos and a nose ring, I could not, for the life of me, understand WHY these people were acting so strangely. So rude. The only conclusion I can come to is that they may have come by this particular violin from an irreputable source. There is no other reason I can think of for the excessively rude experience I had. Its either that, or they prejudiced against anyone who has any semblance of an alternative look to them. Either way, it was an atrocious experience. Save yourself the trouble and go to ifshin violins for any of your needs. Literally, it was such an outwardly rude interaction, with no shame from the owner/employee, that it was surreal. I am very soft spoken. And very polite. Unacceptable behavior. Very disappointed.

Had an excellent experience. Very nice staff and friendly. Helped me get my instrument fixed.

Clean store, vast selection and repair services. Following COVID-19 standards. Cool stuff!

They sell more expensive one of the product that cost 35$ they sell it for $60

Good selection of sheet music. You can rent the practice rooms for teaching but sometimes I can get a bit noisy if an electric instrument is practicing next door. Staff is wonderful though and does their best to accommodate.

This review is for Ms. Jessica. We had Ms Jessica as our substitute teacher this summer. She is very good with young kids. My son enjoyed to learn piano lesson from her.

Best classical instrument shop we have ever been to. The lady that helped us is a sax player and has a huge amount of knowledge on everything in the shop. We are already setting up another trip to go back for a second visit.

First time here today. Absolutely Amazing. Amazing selection of Vinyls especially the Clearance section. Only had an hour for parking, so could only look for so long. Cant wait till I go back.

Staff seemed knowledgeable and super friendly. Helped me find a good cleaner for my guitar, and they had a nice assortment of acoustic guitar strings too. Lots of books to choose from as well, from song books to practice guides etc.. Doesnt seem guitar oriented specifically, they have a crazy selection of stuff for every instrument.

Ive bought saxophone reeds and mouthpieces and Ive been very happy with customer service. Sam gave me some excellent advice on saxophone mouthpieces. He was very knowledgeable and hip to the new accessories out there. Ive returned many-a-time.

Great music store! It was a great experience working with people that know the business.

Wow..were new in town from Colorado. Looking for help with our daughters Cello. The staff are exceptional. Tuned our daughters Cello on the spot!

These guys are seasoned musicians (like decades of professional experience) so they know the best gear and really hooked me up when I bought a horn there. Oh and they are really nice guys.

Great Store, great staff! Ive been going here for years and never disappointed. Dont forget about the practice rooms in the back!
