As a local flute teacher (in the area for 18 years) West Valley Music has been one of the best resources in the Bay Area for instruments and music. It is one of the surviving music stores for good reason,solid and knowledgable service and a willingness to work with customers. I can send students there with full confidence. I've found that the owner is also flexible in working with students that may need some financing help, or advice with repair work (the advantage of a small single-owner store). And the sheet music section can't be beat!
Pros: Great location and service
