30-Second Arm Sizing Guide

Testimonials

What our customers are saying

Shar is my go-to store for my orchestra needs! I've been a fan of theirs for over 30 years. They've always had professional input when I've needed it. They stand behind their products and they carry good quality items at a reasonable price.

- Sheri N.

Shar has always been my go-to for any music-related supplies - strings, cases, sheet music, teaching materials, and accessories. Shar has it all, and I know the quality has been vetted (unlike other online sources like amazon). Please give them your business to keep this valuable shop up and running for musicians!

- Julie C.

I've been renting from here for a few years. They're amazing! Great customer service

- Brigitta C.

Class is not dead, this place will make you feel valued as a person and customer. If they can not do it, then it can not be done.

- Anthony R.

The experts at Shar have always taken their time to answer all of our questions in detail. They have also made fantastic recommendations on products and have taken such great care of our instrument.
