MJ Fitch: Rented an upright bass here for a few months, best repairman and best customer service. Many thanks to everyone here!
Michael Bruce: I recently brought in a guitar to get fixed up and brought back to life after being abandoned in the corner of a classroom for years. Not only did they bring it back - it sounds great! - but the pricing was more than reasonable. The communication was great; someone kept me in the loop on its progress throughout.Ill be coming here again for future repairs on my instruments and will definitely be looking to shop here first for my next guitar. Thank you!!

Sharon Wienhoff: I went here looking for special drum sticks. They did not stock that type but the owner went the extra mile spending several minutes looking on the computer and in catalogs to find some. After he found out that I was a Taiko drummer he introduced me to some new ear plugs for musicians. Great customer service.
Bjc Cook: Friendly service and wife selection
Ziya Kerimov: Very friendly and helpful staff. Homely and nice. Will definitely be back.

Connor Gillis: I finally decided to learn double bass, and when I started to look for a shop imagine my surprise to find a respected string instrument store right in my neighborhood! I wasn't sure if they carried basses, since all the reviews only talk about violins, violas, and cellos. But they do have a large selection of basses - both to rent and purchase - in a separate building in the back.You need to ask to be shown the collection. The bass I rented is very well set up, has good sound, and illustrates that Kamimoto clearly knows what they are doing. They offer a rental contract where up to 6 months of rental payments can be applied towards any instrument in the shop, not just the one you rented. Considering the offerings in their shop, this is a great deal.I showed the bass I rented to my teacher and she remarked that it's a great quality instrument and asked me where I rented it from so she can direct more of her students there. I highly recommend Kamimoto for all your upright bass needs!
Wei-Ai Tai: Small family-owned and operated store for violins, violas, and cellos. It has a wide selection of new and used string instruments, along with a variety of cases and other musical peripherals. Very friendly and helpful staff, and they also offer services to fix or touch up your instruments. Street parking can be hard to find, though.
Enson Zheng (Wyvernb0rg): The people at Kamimoto are so kind and helping, stepping into their shop never feels nervous since you always know that welcoming staff will always help you with kindness and respect
Julia Tat: I highly recommend this place for your string instruments. I got two cellos here, they are in good quality, and the business owner has more than decade experience in the field. They will explain to you everything in detail with honor suggestions.
Tin Tin Wisniewski: Amazing selection and service! They are very knowledgeable about all strings. My son rented a string bass!
Christina Perez: I wanted to have my Cello custom modified to meet my physical needs. I have played it for the last 15 years as best as I could as it had been manufactured. The Craftsman at Kamimoto String Instruments did a great job customizing it and for the first time my Cello really is mine. Forever grateful.
John Ward: Went in with my daughter to get her violin restrung. He made a few recommendations, and we were in and out in less than 10 minutes.
Maria Plancarte: They serve very well and have good violin content
Jane Kientzy: Amazing experience ! Classy place and very friendly owners
Jesus Palomino: There's always someone ready to help. Friendly and quality instruments...
Hung Nguyen: I came to buy a string for my son's violin. The lady owner installed the string and also tuned the violin for me. Very nice.
William Nguyen: Amazing store, I always come here when I need strings. Amazing prices and extremely high quality.

Joey Omega: Store is quick shipping out there online orders and good customer service
Dave Riegert: As far as walking in and being able to find almost everything under the sun, this place is a far cry from what it used to be back when they had two buildings, but they purposely dropped their pro audio department and are focusing on guitars, basses, and effects. They are still my go-to place for anything related to purchasing a really nice acoustic guitar, new or used. Jack and Dave are still some of the most knowledgeable dudes in the area. The high-end guitar museum is still there, just all the way in the back! Go in and and check it out, plan to spend the time walking around and asking questions!
J J: My fender Sonoran has never sounded quite right so I finally brought into Guitar Showcase to have it worked on and Kelly did an amazing job! I hope that’s his name. My guitar sounds fkn AMAZING now! I so grateful for the local shop that I’ve been visiting for the past 20 years. Thank you.
Galen Reed: I've sold many guitars and amps via consignment at guitar showcase, and they've recently did some tricky repair work on one of my acoustics. I've had nothing but great experience there over the last 15 years. They usually got full asking price for my gear. Kudos to running an awesome shop, and many thanks to Kelly for your master luthier help!
P A: Amazing selection of Martins, old Fenders and even a few Lowdens.
Jinal Sampat: Great store. We wanted a piano for our son and Chris helped us with narrowing down our options and get something we will enjoy for years to come. 🎹 thank you for a great customer service.
Elise Stickler: I came in with my 3 kids for help with a child’s guitar string and my ukulele strap. Tony helped me with stringing and suggested another company for a ukulele strap. Knowledgeable, kind and helpful! Good prices. Thank you Guitar Showcase!
Samuel Parks: Always would go here for any help on guitars the people here are super friendly and great service.
Jona Patterson: As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly. The guy at the front repaired my son's electric guitar for free, which was completely unexpected. My son was in awe of their incredible instrument collection and metal picks. We would definitely return for repairs and/or a guitar purchase!
Vaxen: Great place for anything guitar. Staff are passionate, knowledgeable, and friendly. They also have really cool unique guitars, replicas of popular guitarist's guitars, etc.
Nicholas Dowell: Great place - The staff talked me through the ins and outs of a looping pedal that I was interested in. Their advice was awesome and they were very knowledgeable.
Hijinio Reynoso: , but the staff is still friendly and the selection is still great for their electrics and acoustics. They even get creative with dispensing hand sanitizer! :
James H. Turner: Great place and guitars

Vincent L: A true gem in the South Bay! Excellent customer service! I was able to schedule a drop off outside business hours to have my daughter’s clarinet serviced and the result was amazing! This Clarinet is 40 years old and came back looking brand new and ready for 40 more years!

Andy Paterson: ! Они всегда были так полезны моей жене Тине
Yumei Huang: Хороший сервис и приятный персонал. Действительно здорово.
James Liu: Очень дружелюбный персонал, который отлично разбирается в струнных инструментах. Они искренне и терпеливо выслушают ваши пожелания и помогут сделать правильный выбор, если вы новичок, как я. Судя по всему, Джейсон обладает глубоким и доскональным пониманием всех аспектов обслуживания/ремонта/оптимального использования вашего инструмента. Авраам - опытный музыкант, который заставил мою виолончель звучать так, как я, вероятно, никогда не смогу, и помог мне выбрать правильный смычок, играя на виолончели более чем с 10+ смычками. Я буду использовать этот магазин и его партнеров для всех будущих нужд. Очень рекомендую и вам сделать
Hrishikesh Aradhye: Это отличный выбор для аренды инструментов. Не могу быть счастливее. Мы арендовали у них альт для моей дочери. Инструмент отличного качества, большой выбор, доступные цены и, прежде всего, очень отзывчивый и знающий персонал! Недавно я имел удовольствие работать с Конни по аренде скрипки, и она сделала все возможное. Спасибо! Настоятельно рекомендуется.
Monica Ngozi Anuforo: В этом месте прекрасная и яркая атмосфера, а сотрудники были очень дружелюбны и любезны. Я с нетерпением жду возможности приходить сюда чаще :D
Sujan Bin Wadud: Они настолько опытны в игре на струнных инструментах, что это делает весь процесс еще более приятным. Мы купили первую скрипку нашей дочери, взяв ее напрокат на год. Они помогли ей выбрать правильный инструмент из вариантов, соответствующих ее уровню. Очень знающий, внимательный и страстный владелец/персонал. Настоятельно рекомендуется.
Lao Alan: Мне нравится обслуживание, персонал очень компетентный и профессиональный. Их арендованные инструменты в отличном и хорошем состоянии. Цена отличная!!!!! Я очень рекомендую Sono Strings.
Eugena Riley: Это место потрясающее. Конни, Авраам и Джейсон очень помогли. Они были быстрыми и эффективными. Также очень дружелюбный.К моему концерту они быстро заделали открытый шов и спасли меня!Спасибо!

Andrew Keel: This place has it all. Everything you've seen online and more. From wires to dual 21" subs, they have it. The owner is cool to work with and has the knowledge to sell you what you need. I was even invited to the fridge to grab a drink while shopping. I'm happy with my purchases and I can't wait for my next visit.
Ruce Tauoa: Appreciate the helpful folks here at Pro Audio Elric and owner Marwan for being absolutely helpful for everything! They have all the necessities you need for any visual and audio FX!!! Gotta go check them out!!!
Vdj. RAFFICK ROMERO: professionals
Alan Waltz Entertainment: I don’t even shop for equipment on the internet anymore. These guys are trustworthy, friendly, and always match or beat the internet price
roy perz: 5star
Gregory Smith: I’m writing this review based on what I know of the owner. I’ve been with Marwan 15 plus years and he’s always had and will have my back with my equipment needs! I’ve read the negative reviews and all I can say to that is did you talk to Marwan the owner? On behalf of Pro Audio World I’m truly sorry that you had a unpleasant experience but I can assure you if you talk to the owner, he will go out of his way to make things right!! There’s nothing like a mom and pop business and it saddens me that we are not supporting the business model that is the backbone of our country! I’m a huge believer in customer service and follow up to the point of I will pay extra or drive the extra miles to support a business with the customer first, not the customer is always right business practice. I truly believe that there are times that a customer may not have all the information which could lead a miscommunication and or understanding but if you take the time that you put into finding a solution, I think you will find that your experience can turn out to be one of the best.
Jasbir Singh: One stop shop for all Audio solutions. We bought DJ lights and Ricky was amazing in choosing equipment and program the lights foe very easy and quick setup. Highly recommended.
Alex Anderson: Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Wide selection of gear to choose from
Pablo Martínez: Great place to purchase anything & everything for your PA/DJ system, friendly, respectful, helpful & knowledgeable staff, reasonable prices, and the best part... they're here in San Jose!
