Best used guitar and amp inventory in the city hands down…read more I can't believe some of the reviews I've read of people crying because they weren't treated like royalty upon entering the front door. These guys are professional musicians not McDonalds employees. They're here to deal and do serious business not wait on you hand and foot. Grow up. I've been coming here for years. Some days the customer service is better than other days, oh well. This bit of advice will go a long way when dealing with most mom and pop music stores. Do some research and have a fucking clue before waking in. This isn't a Burger King. You aren't going to "have it your way" here. Leave your entitlement at the door.

Music shops always have their loyal customers and their "haters". I'm a longtime loyal customer of…read moreSpacetone. The owner has been a fixture in the musical community for decades and knows how to treat people to establish long term relationships. This is primarily a guitar shop and has a nice variety. Vintage to modern and inexpensive to "I may need to take out a loan". The prices are always competitive with the market norms. The vast majority of the stock is used gear. So, if they don't have what you're looking for today, it may be there tomorrow or next month.

They restored the piece for us, and did a remarkable job. They are fairly priced too. We are taking a trumpet to them today. I will continue to use and brag about this business.

The customer service you receive in person is great but the one you receive over the phone is…read moreHORRIBLE. My family financed a flute from this company and for 3 years I never had a problem with my payments. When it came to MY LAST PAYMENT I needed a few days extension (due to an unforseen expense) and the company couldn't do that. There was only one card I could use for the payment and that resulted in me incurring an overdraft fee. Even though I have not work for 1 year I still made my payments on time and there was nothing that customer service could do for me. I had never asked for an extension the entire time I had "a contract" with them. When you call customer service it takes 30 mins - 3+ hours for a representative to pick up the call. When I called about getting an extension I had 2 representatives disconnect my call. DO NOT DO ANY FINANCING WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!!

Love the amount of variety they have. I usually come by to see their brass instrument selection and…read moremouthpieces, and they have a lot to offer. Their instrument cleaning and repair service is also very good as long as you can wait a little bit. It was such a nice experience pre-covid when you could try out all of the guitars and keyboards and other things and I can't wait to go back when everything is normal again.

The downright best luthier/repair artist I've ever had. He's usually got a bit of a backlog (I…read moremean, the secret is out at this point) but it's worth every week you need to wait. Other's have already said it, I'm just here to concur. Jon always goes above and beyond. Had an 80's explorer that needed an overhaul on the neck and a refret job, as well as wiring replaced for some new pickups. He did it all and threw in some new switches and tuners for free b/c he noticed the old ones were jank. Next time I took my new 7 string to get the guts removed and install some BareKnuckles, which he needed to carve some space in the body in order for them to fit (you'd never know, it looks like it was built for them) and then custom rigged the pickups to make use of the push/pull tone knob to use the previous pickup's passive battery as a gain boost, a la tubescreamer, but built right into the guitar itself! Cannot recommend Jon enough.

I have literally contacted and visited most of the violin stores in San Antonio, and wow! Texas…read moreViolin Shop is number one by a mile! Immediately when you walk in the door you realize this isn't your regular Violin Shop! Chris and Samantha made it the best experience for my daughter and I almost as if we were family.

The terms for rental are not only extremely affordable, but they maintain your violin to make sure you sound your very best! They are a violin one stop shop!

This shop is the best!!!!! Definitely recommend to anyone…read morelooking for proper professional rentals and extra training.

My wife and I recently…read morevisited San Antonio and decided to stop into Lark since I've followed them for a while on the socials. They are under new management from what I understand and the new manager is awesome. He was incredibly helpful as were all the staff. They answered all my questions even going as far as to google things for me. I started looking at an amp I was really digging so I started A/Bing amps and by the time I was done that had just about rearranged the show room and I was surrounded by amps and pedals. 1st class service and I loved it. One of the best experiences I've had in a music store. I can't wait to go back!

They did finally take care of it in the end but it was a bad experience for me and the person who I was conversing with was slow on response and wouldn't respond to all of my emails. He had a bit of a high horse attitude if you ask me.
