This family owned business is the best! Give them a try over the big corporate music stores in town and you will be pleasantly surprised of all Alan's Music Center has to offer!

My son plays the flute and trumpet we got both instruments here very good quality. Everything we looked for they have it.. Was looking for extra flute classes and I found them there too at a decent affordable price..

Alan's is what I expected to find from a small music shop. They don't have the corporate sterility of Sam Ash or Guitar Center, it's more like wandering into a musical Gringots. The staff is knowledgeable and have been a huge help in getting me up and running learning saxophone again.

San Diego's finest, and largest music store.. this is a quality store with all levels of music instruments. Alan's son Bob runs the store, with a very patient and keen approach to helping out beginners and professionals alike. They are sewn into the fabric of SD city and are a must visit for all aspiring musicians. They offer rent to own, instrument service and also classes for all levels and types. I own an Alto Sax, and just took it there for servicing. Bob helped me out, and made me felt at ease to ask all the questions I needed to ask. No rush store, with its own parking and a wonderful ambience. this is also a great store for music teachers, with a variety of books and tools. 10/10 would recommend

I would just go into Alan's Music and ask them. They may know some one. Or Taylor Guitars in El Cajon. They give tours of their work place where they make Taylor guitars.
