For those folks landing here looking for Sonica Music Company or the Mountain View Music Center, I regret to inform you that Sonica closed down earlier this year - yet another victim of the stagnant Silicon Valley economy. 

However, there is still a music store or three in Mountain View.  I'd like to recommend Norm's at 1901 Old Middlefield Road - 650 968-4800. Here you can find quite a variety of quality musical instruments and expert advice.

Tell Norm that Mike sent you. 

You are also encouraged to use this site for anything related to music in Mountain View or Silicon Valley. Musicians classifieds, instrument advice, etc. I'll be glad to help where I am able. There don't seem to be any other places for local musicians to hang out....
