Inside these pages you will find a cornucopia of pictures and text descriptions designed to give you an insight into the Sylvan Music shop. You won't find impersonal shopping carts, canned photographs, or generic messages thanking you for your business. This site has been designed to give you comprehensive descriptions and photos of our instruments- the same ones located in our retail store in Santa Cruz- and an opportunity to easily browse through our exhaustive inventory of instruments and equipment. 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!. What you'll find is one of our sales professionals returning your e-mail or phoning you back to give you the information you're looking for. If, like the thousands of other customers in the past 20 years, you stumble onto that special instrument that gets your gears cranking, we handle all sales transactions live, over the telephone. It's one thing buying a power tool online... but an instrument is something we want you to have complete confidence in purchasing. We think shopping for musical instruments can still be a personable, enriching experience- that's how we feel about it here in the store, why would we settle for anything less with our internet friends? 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-- for you.
