About Sylvan Music
If you've ever wondered what it would be like to walk into a low-pressure musical instrument store filled with vintage acoustic instruments of decades long past, modern masterpieces made by the world's most talented luthiers, state-of-the-art equipment designed to help us achieve 'that sound' we've been craving, and one of the most thorough and all-encompassing inventories of acoustic and electric instruments in the world, we would like to give you a warm welcome to Sylvan Music. We think you'll fit right in.
Sylvan Music is located in Santa Cruz, California, a sunny surf-town one-hour south of San Francisco – in the same neck of the woods as some of the world's most famous acoustic instrument crafters. We specialize in high-quality instruments, both electric and acoustic, that were designed to give the player a tool for musical expression, and a lifetime of fulfillment. The instruments we offer stand headstocks above the competition, both in quality and in price performance. We have taken years of cumulative experience and searched all corners of the globe to find the luthiers (master instrument builders) making outstanding instruments. We have been proudly offering these fine musical instruments, as well as musical equipment and accessories to customers across the globe since 1984.
Sylvan Music specializes in high quality guitars, mandolins, ukeleles, banjos, violins, dulcimers, amplifiers, effects pedals, and accessories with instruments for every level of player at every price point. We are the exclusive area dealers for world renowned Santa Cruz Guitar Company instruments, as well as Martin, Fender, Eastman, Goodall, Iris, Circle Strings, Fairbanks, National ResoPhonic, Ellis, Pava and many more. We have 2 vintage rooms filled with relics that hold the secret sounds of the music past. Sylvan also rents a wide variety of stringed, orchestral, and woodwind instruments for students and adults alike.
Here on our website, you’ll find a cornucopia of pictures of our instruments & comprehensive specs designed to give you an insight into everything we sell here in the shop.
If you see something you like, whether it's a passing fancy or "the one you've been searching for...", click the handy 'email us' logo and let us know if you have any questions about specs or pricing. Or click the good old ‘Add To Cart’ button and we’ll ship it right out to you!
Go ahead and dig right in – you'll find some of the most beautiful and one-of-a-kind instruments available, and a live salesperson ready and willing to give you personal assistance in your quest for the right instrument.
