The staff and owners are super nice and knowledgable. Also, my dad took his vintage clarinet to another shop for a tune up. After less than a year, pads were falling off, and it didn't sound great. He brought it here, and after they found and repaired a crack that the other place missed and did their own tune up, he says it sounds like it is brand new!

My husband has been looking for a piano for some time and John let him know about one that came into the shop recently. It happened to be exactly what we were looking for.

Similar to the Benicia location, this store offers a plethora of unique items, including many…read moreeducational and/or music-related products, from STEAM activity kits to portable carnival games. Books and toys of all kinds. A myriad of musical instruments and cute popup greeting cards. They even sell shoelaces in creative designs, and knives too (being advertised for father's day). They have a mini room set up with a fun and diverse range of games on display, handheld devices and board games, like Murder Mystery Party: Death by Chocolate and a Scrabble & Monopoly mash-up. And another mini room dedicated to puzzles for all ages, jigsaw puzzles organized by age level and number of pieces, as well as mechanical puzzles and brain teasers. I was able to find a 100-piece glitter puzzle featuring unicorns and rainbows, perfect for my niece's bday. Staff was hard to find, roaming around the store blending in with customers wandering the aisles. But once the employee saw me waiting at the front counter, he helped grab my selected puzzle off a top shelf and the purchase process was quick and easy. Free street parking was limited on a Friday afternoon, but not impossible to find. I secured a spot just a block away.

Awesome store. Such friendly staff and extensive selection of all things fun…read more Just walking by and saw an inviting window front so had to check it out. Glad we walked In will definitely be back.

Jim is a wonderful violin teacher! I take a 30-minute lesson with him each week. I had about a year…read moreof violin lessons in high school, but after a long break I started lessons with Jim and have now been studying with him for about a year. I would say he's a great fit for you if you have some experience (it doesn't have to be much) with the instrument and if you also like to be proactive with work outside what is given to you. He is always positive, encouraging, and never makes you feel discouraged if you haven't practiced as much as you'd hoped. I usually only manage one or two hours of practice each week, but I still feel like I'm making steady progress. He has a wide variety of music to match different interests and likes to get you playing music right away. He makes learning the violin enjoyable and approachable. I can see myself progressing with him for many years. I highly recommend him!

After my Grandmother passed away, her home was going to be sold with the Grand Piano that had been…read morein my family for over 50 years. As I sat and thought about it, I couldn't let that happen, so I found Sweet Sound Piano. I got so lucky that they just happened to be in the area and came over within a few hours, picked up and stored the piano for 2 years because I didn't have the space for it at the time. After purchasing another home, I had the perfect place for it, they delivered my piano and it was in perfect condition! I highly recommend Sweet Sound, they did an amazing job for me. I have read some of the other reviews about them trying to sell services, etc. and honestly, I don't understand what's wrong with that. They are a business and if they have products and services that help preserve the fine instrument, why would they not offer those services? They offered additional services to me as well, I chose what I wanted and said no to what wasn't important to me at the time. I'm adding this in because I am going to choose to use them again soon and I am very happy with their service and my decision to continue to use Sweet Sound Piano!

Jim claimed to have "twice tuned" my piano not knowing I could hear him only tune it once. He tried to convince me that I had to do expensive maintenance on my piano because I had an "important" instrument (a YAMAHA I'm aware of the value of) which was completely untrue. Left me feeling slimed.
