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 also do not appear to be a PRS authorized dealer anymore I posted my review elsewhere and was not going to add it here but based on their reply want to get it posted The claim that these instruments had functional issues or 'body splitting' is a blatant fabrication used to justify a $300 offer on instruments that routinely sell for way more. The Strat is a 'Closet Classic'--it is designed by the Fender Custom Shop to have checking and age. To use factory relicing as an excuse to offer 10% of market value is either a lack of product knowledge or a deliberate attempt to mislead. The $4600 dollar guitar I was looking at looked like it had Lost a long-time customer today. I've been a loyal supporter of Lark Guitars for years, spending a substantial amount of money here and recommending them to others despite their premium pricing. I believe in supporting local shops, but after today, I will never step foot in this establishment again. I went in today prepared to purchase a $4,600 Custom Shop Telecaster. For trade-in, I brought a PRS SC 58 and a Fender Custom Shop Closet Classic Stratocaster. After waiting, I was met with an insulting offer of $300 per guitar ($600 total). Claiming these high-end instruments are "too beat up" to offer more than entry-level Squier prices is either a blatant attempt to scam a loyal customer or a total lack of product knowledge. For a shop that deals in boutique gear, they should know exactly what those models are worth. I packed my gear and walked out. If you value your instruments or your time, I suggest you look elsewhere. They've lost my business for good.

I've had the privilege of knowing Abbas Selgi and visiting Terra Nova Violins for nearly 10 years,…read moreand throughout that time, he has consistently provided truly exceptional service, craftsmanship, and expertise. Whether it's repairs, instrument setup, or helping musicians find the right instrument, the level of care and professionalism is second to none. Terra Nova's collection of instruments is outstanding. I purchased a beautiful Paul Hart cello along with a Pierre-Yves Fuchs bow, and both have exceeded my expectations. It's rare to find a violin shop in Texas that carries instruments and bows of this caliber. As a private cello teacher, Terra Nova Violins is the only shop I recommend to my students and their families. Their rental program is excellent, and they offer a wonderful selection of quality, affordable student cellos that are properly set up and ready to play. I know my students are receiving instruments that will help them succeed rather than hold them back! If you're looking for a shop that genuinely cares about musicians at every level, from beginners to professionals, I cannot recommend Terra Nova Violins highly enough!

This place has the worst organizational skills and customer service in town! I have never had this…read morelevel of pompous, arrogant, pretentious, behavior exhibited to me by a business owner. I was given a time frame and ghosted. Deadline passes for my instrument, I call to remind that I need it; was assured it be ready the next day at noon. I get there the next day before they close and what do you know!?, they haven't even touched the instrument yet! This is very disrespectful to your customers. Then the owner gets an attitude cause I explain to him this is not how to run a business. Customers should never have to call back because you decided to ghost them. I demanded my money back immediately and they rightfully gave it back because the owner knew he was in the wrong. What a waste of time and effort. The best thing that came out of this was I found The Texas Violin Shop! They solved all my problems and even set us up on a practically new violin rental that was massively superior in quality to the Terra Nova violin we previously purchased! So thanks terra Nova for dropping the ball or we would have never found The Texas Violin Shop!

Avoid This Shop - Total Waste of Money and Five Months of Headaches…read more Do NOT waste your money or time at this place. Back in October, I dropped off my Chauvet DJ GigBAR lighting system for a simple power supply repair. What should have been a quick fix turned into five months of nonstop runaround. They kept giving excuses: "ordering the wrong parts," "just found out about this," same BS every single time I called. Zero progress, zero updates unless I chased them down. When I finally had enough and demanded my equipment back along with a refund, the owner himself got on the phone and told me he "doesn't have time to listen to whining and complaints." Real professional. He only refunded the rush fee out of the full upfront payment I made--because apparently he "invested time." Meanwhile, my GigBAR sat there collecting dust for months, unusable for gigs, while I lost bookings and had to scramble with backups. The whole team comes off as incompetent and straight-up rude. No accountability, no communication, no respect for customers' time or money. If you're in San Antonio and need lighting or AV gear repaired, go literally anywhere else. These guys don't fix equipment--they hold it hostage and disrespect you while doing it. Save yourself the headache and the cash. 0 stars if Yelp allowed it.
