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, Lark 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!

🫏 This instrument is made from a donkey’s jawbone: the quijada! With roots in Afro-Peruvian musical traditions, this percussion instrument is now used all across Latin America. It has a distinctive rattling sound produced by the loosened teeth vibrating inside the dried jawbone when it’s struck. You can also scrape the teeth to create a raspy sound.

✨ This gorgeous instrument is the Jay Witcher Wire-Strung Sirr Harp, played by Alex Golden. https://larkinthemorning.com/products/jay-witcher-sirr-harp?_pos=1&_sid=c0d648bb6&_ss=r/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_content=InstrumentDemo&utm_medium=Socials&utm_campaign=

It is as much a work of sculptural art as it is a musical instrument. 35 solid brass monofilament strings in the traditional unwound style and historic sister-string tuning. Eagle-head carvings, lion's paw feet, sweeping Celtic knotwork. This wire-strung masterpiece is singular, hand-carved by Bob Thomas, the artist behind the iconic Grateful Dead skull logo.
