Lark In The Morning

Lark In The Morning Since 1974, we've honed our curated selection of musical instruments from around the world. Come see our shop in Berkeley, California.

A amazing selection of musical instruments and instructional material from around the world. Lark In The Morning has been selling musical instruments from around the world since 1974. Founded by Mickey Zekley , it started as a mail order company and grew to a thriving enterprise with storefronts in San Francisco, Seattle and Mendocino. Mickie and his wife Beth also started a summer music camp, Lar

k Camp, which now has over 600 participants and instructors from around the world each summer in the redwoods of Mendocino. Mickie and Beth first sold Lark in the Morning in 2002. By the end of 2010, when Mickie and Beth got the business back, all the stores had closed and the busines had moved entirely online. Since then, Lark in the Morning has been holding steady, offering its unique and remarkable collection of instruments to its customers worldwide. In January 2017 I purchased Lark in the Morning and have moved the business to the San Francisco Bay Area, in Berkeley. Mickie and Beth continue to run Lark Camp and work with me as consultants. It's October now and we've just opened a storefront again here in Berkeley. Bay Area folks, please stop by!

Five-Star Review from Will Jones

The Deluxe Fancy Norwegian Hardanger Fiddle features 4 main strings and 5 sympathetic strings, creating its signature resonant sound. With a naturally seasoned spruce top and detailed inlay work, each instrument is inspected and set up by our in-house luthier before it reaches you.

"Great for Irish Bouzouki. The external Twin Spot works great on my Irish Bouzouki. I've scotched taped the pickup heads and wires it in place for easy adjustment, and the pick up sensitivity is very good. I'm running it through my guitar DI box for increased sensitivity and tone control."

Five-Star Review from Greg P

The K&K Twin Spot Classic Pickup is a twin-head piezo transducer system designed to amplify a wide range of instruments, from bouzouki and oud to guitar and cello. With two pickup points, it delivers a more balanced sound and broader frequency range than single-head systems, while the small, unobtrusive heads allow for flexible placement on the instrument.

"Still miss your store in Mendocino!"
Comment from Linda Tinney Bushta

💗 We hear this a lot. Lark in the Morning holds a special place in the minds of many people, especially the memory of our once-many West Coast store, from Seattle to San Francisco. But we are still here with open doors, waiting for you to visit and play the instruments on display. See you here at 1001 Camelia Street, Berkeley, California!

"Jackie arrived, nicely packed and in rapid order... much lighter than I expected, thank goodness as the instrument is attached to the player by their thumbs (and mine are kind of old). I never thought that it would be so challenging for me to learn play ... so different from anything I've tried before... I can feel the neurons in my brain sparking and protesting. Actually, it feels good to build new pathways. The cat is none too pleased with my new endeavor. However, Jackie is a beautiful instrument, well made and of good quality. I'm sure, in time, we'll become the best of friends. Thanks to all at Lark in the Morning for making my experience so pleasant and trouble free.
