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!

Scott & Lila jamming on the Joia Tubes and Wind Wand. Did you know that our wind wands were used to create the sound of the ornithopters in Dune? They create a drone that's great to sing over, or for sound baths, and of course for foley artists.

There’s a reason the ukulele are so beloved. Their warm tone, portable size, and joyful spirit have inspired generations of musicians -- from first-time players learning their first chords to virtuosic uke performers, and all styles of musicians.

Many of our Makai Ukuleles are currently on sale, making this a wonderful time to check out our ukulele collection:

🌀 What do sound healers, singers, and the sound team behind Dune have in common? THE LARK IN THE MORNING WIND WAND

Our wind wands create a meditative drone that one can sing over or use in a sound bath. Also reminiscent of a helicopter, sound designer Mark Mangini used our wind wand to create the sound of the ornithopters in Dune.

What do they sound like to you? Cat purrs, beetle wings, a ceiling fan?

POV: You pick up a random instrument at Lark in the Morning...and it happens to be a BOMBARDE!

I know I know... The bombard gets a bad wrap for being extraordinarily loud, especially for its unassuming size. But they are fantastic instruments particularly for that reason (like little pocket saxophones!). Bombardes can create a trance-inducing melody, perfect for driving traditional Breton dances tunes at festivals.

For all the jokes and hate this instrument has received...throughout the century...our bombards are currently SOLD OUT! 😂 Sign up to get notified when they're back in stock.
