The best music store in Texas. These guys are the nicest and most helpful in the business. Ive known Robert A. (Manager) for a long time and have been a Sound Vibrations customer as long as I can remember. My wife Eva and I would go by and Robert never failed and always delivered when it came to getting me exactly what I was looking for and always at the best price. Just by going into Sound Vibrations, I became great friends with Robert and he, along with his staff have always made us feel so welcomed and valued as a customer. I shop no where else but Sound Vibrations for my Guitars and Amps. Trust me, shop here for all things musical, no need to go anywhere else - Jim
Ive driven by this place and admired the mural a bunch of times (I really love the way it looks under the lights at night). Today was the fist time I had a reason to go inside. The people there were laid back and so helpful. They fixed my guitar so fast and were so friendly and inviting. Ill always go here for supplies and repairs. Thanks so much for the repair
I just LOVE Sound Vibrations! You cant beat their prices, their knowledge, or their quality customer service! Ive purchased from them twice already and they always help me. Both Roberts are experts and make the purchasing experience an amazingly smooth one. If youre going to buy any musical instruments or sound equipment, I definitely recommend them!
I have always had a great experience at this place. The staff has always been friendly and helped me with what I needed. I am a drummer and being a drummer in corpus it can be a little tough at times to find what you need. these guys always tried their best to find what they did have in stock to make it work. They are local and This is my first stop when I’m trying to find something for my kit.
Owner Robert DeGraff is one class act! This store is awesome, and the staff unbeatable! Independent... this place has everything you could want. We were in town and realized we were missing some gear. Robert did us right and things could not have gone better! Thank you Sound Vibrations!!
Where do I start?!?! I absolutely love and respect Sound Vibrations. The staff is absolutely amazing! Robert Arsuaga is an amazing manager and has so much knowledge there is no way you can come to Sound Vibrations and not find what you need or what you are looking for. I would like to also pay respect and thank with highest respect the Late Robert Degraaf for creating this amazing local music shop that shows their community love through helping every single musician or musician just beginning, Sounds Vibrations love for music and it’s love for Corpus Christi. I will forever be a Sound Vibrations customer!
Great store with a great staff! Been buying gear here since the mid 1990s and they’ve always been professional, knowledgeable and, hands down, have always had the best selection of guitars/amps in town. Now I’m buying gear for my teenage son here — he loves it too! Easy and quick repair too.. these guys know their stuff.
Sound Vibrations is hands-down the best music store in South Texas. Robert always steers me straight when it comes to equipment selection and James always does a great job servicing my instruments. Very friendly and knowledgeable crew over there, and it’s nice that they service what they sell directly onsite. They always match prices I find for stuff online, so I never even bother going anywhere else. Thanks for everything!!!
After walking in to get strings changed, the clerk did not react well to seeing my Babicz guitar, stating that they didnt know how to change the strings on it. Since it is an unusual guitar, this did not surprise me, but the clerks attitude definitely did. I am in the market for a Taylor Acoustic guitar, and once I had purchased strings I was not approached by ANY of the workers to see if I needed anything or had any questions. As a manager in an OReilly Auto Parts store, the lack of customer service was extremely noticeable and appalling.
Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have me information that most chain stores would charge money for, and did so quickly and with a smile. They also have a great selection of instruments and accessories. Dont bother with guitar center anymore...these people are far more helpful and knowledgeable!
These group of guys just never fails to amaze me. To both Roberts, Lorenzo and Jacob the service you provide is outstanding. Thanks Jacob for helping me with the guitar pedal today. I will continue to recommend my friends to Sound Vibrations. The way your team helps with after purchase products and the concern you show to get us back to our gigs with our equipment ready to go is great! Thanks!!
Only place I go for awesome deals on all musical instruments. They stand behind every product they sell and are extremely knowledgeable and capable of fixing any cosmetic, electronic, or mechanical issue Ive brought to their attention. They work quick and affordably. Cant say enough about this place they treat me like family which is why I keep coming back. Highly recommended
Best music store ever. Every employee knows everything about all the equipment in the store, and plenty more about what they dont have. Theyre all extremely helpful and friendly and seem like the genuinely enjoy their job. They always try to save me money, and give me free stuff anytime I buy from them. I retract my previous statement: BEST STORE EVER!
I remember the very first time I went in to sound vibrations. I was 14 and getting my first guitar. As soon as we walked through the doors we were met by a gentleman who made us feel comfortable and had this unlimited amount of knowledge. Oh how the times change. I went back there for the first time in a few years and when I walked through the door I didnt even get a hello. The inventory was decent if you only want to jam on fender electric guitars. They had a really nice acoustic section, but it was also really expensive. So on that note I think Ill just continue doing business at guitar center. Where they have people who actually want to help out their customers.
Took my steel string inside to evaluate its condition. It is kinda old and didnt look well, but checked it in and they helped me out really fast. Turns out it just needed new strings. Tuners and bridge were all fine condition, just a little dry on the fret-board. They went ahead restrung the strings and oiled the bridge. Glad to have honest workers with a great vibe. Cant recommend them enough. Bought a kazoo and a capo just because I was pleased with the service. Keep up the great work!
Absolutely fantastic, professional, fast and personable service. Robert and Eric immediately checked out the guitars I brought in and had them ready by the time I was out the door. Highly recommend to anyone needing maintenance done, but their instrument selection is great too. Thanks guys!
I am 44 years old and my dad started taking me here YEARS ago when I was a kid! We are always greeted with a smile and a hello even when its crazy busy! They have a great selection of instruments, people who can teach privately, and they can match prices! There is a reason they have been around so long because they are awesome!!
All your music needs with musicians who know what they are selling... Great quality instruments... Guitars, drums, bass, keyboards, banjos, EVERYTHING you need for you, your family or your band... Will tune up your guitars, if needed, another plus!!! Great gift ideas as well... Come check em out!!
The gang at Sound Vibrations is spot on!! They were recommended to me by a couple friends. I am brand new to this and had so many questions. Additionally my guitar just did not sound right. In 2 mins they had diagnosed dead stringswrong string being the issue and fixed her up with new strings! The whole process took less then 15 min!! They also took the time to give me tips on programs, what strings do what and what I can expect as I learn how to play. SUPER knowledgeable and the whole experience was awesome!! VERY reasonably priced! Highly recommended!! Thank you Sound Vibrations!!!
Great throwback to the pre-Guitar Center era, almost like an Austin shop. Nice selection of guitars, mostly retail price, but lots of choices - electric and acoustic. Recently bought a strap here, friendly assistance by employees.Funny story: I was dressed in a vintage jean jacket and unshaven and I was mistaken for an employee! An older gentleman asked me the price for one of the items and I gladly obliged. Still no paycheck..
The best for service. When I lived in Alice and CC, I was so grateful to have these guys around. Anytime I needed adjustments or pickups swapped out, Robert A. was the man to see. He listened closely to how I wanted my pickups wired and set and if it wasnt quite right, he adjusted it without complaint. I never felt like a bother. Thanks to Robert and the crew, I have my gear sounding better than ever before.
Hands down, no contest. SoundVibes is THE best music shop in town. Robert and his staff give the best service whether you are a multi-decade, multi-instrument purchasing customer or just in the store to window shop and dream for a bit while taking up space. The entire staff is passionate about music and they show it. You feel it the moment you walk in. The vibe.
Great place...known these guys forever.... absolute professionals...they repaired my Kawai digital piano in a few days and I couldnt be happier...the two Roberts know their stuff along with Buddy.... thanks guys...highly recommend for all your personal musical or performance needs
Sound Vibrations is heaven for any experienced musician or beginners. They have a big selection of instruments, and so many guitars it was overwhelming, but they were very helpful and helped me pick out a beautiful Taylor guitar. I will definitely be coming back in the future.
Friendly staff! In town for a few days of work and only had 10 mins before closing...had to take some momento of possibly my one time ever visit to Corpus Christi...lots of guitars and very nice acoustic room...not enough time to choose a guitar or pedal...but I did buy 2 guitar straps and got a recommendation where to eat out my last night in town...thanks Sound Vibrations! You Rock!
You can find extremely great deals here, but being that it is a local store you get the safety of satisfaction guaranteed or have the great return/repair policies as a national chain store would offer. Staff here is super amazing and will strive to help you find what you need %100.
Great experience, i went in this evening to purchace a randy rhoads guitar hardshell case, it was a decent price and it was in stock, i have always gon there to purchase items since i was young , 12 y/o . Im 44 now and i still love this place. Great owners and staff. I am die hard to sound vibes.
Nice staff, but the same prices as everyone else. I wanted to buy a bass amp, but they didnt have the one I wanted in stock. Some sales guy took my phone number and promised to call me when he got one in the store. Six weeks passed and I never heard back from him. Oh well. Guitar Center took care of me.UPDATE 8-18-2018At the behest of Robert I decided to give Sound Vibrations another chance. I used their websites Contact Us form to send them a message about possibly fixing a broken amp I have. I sent the message last weekend (Sunday) and its now Friday night and I have yet to receive a response. For this reason I deducted another star on their rating overall. Apparently they will sell you only what they have in stock, wont order anything for you, wont call you back, and dont respond to their own website questions. I was truly hoping to have someone reach out about the amp because I also wanted to buy some new cymbals. Instead, I searched the Guitar Center website today and found what I was looking for. I am now getting two used cymbals sent to me from two different GC stores and I should have them by Tuesday. Before buying from GC I did take time to search the Sound Vibrations site. Its just a mish-mash of drum items all on one page. Theres no way to filter out what you want to search for. I love buying local and helping local businesses, but SV has fallen flat twice in a row. The only other local store (Music Mart) is a joke and horribly overpriced, so I will just say that. I wanted SV to win me back, but I guess GC will be my go-to for music gear from now on.
Took my guitar in for a new nut and restring. Took Sound Vibrations 3 months to do a job that I was told would take 2 weeks. I never received a phone call to let me know that it was done. When I called about it they had the audacity to still charge me for the work. They think it was satisfying enough to give me a %25 discount. I will never take my guitars or anything else for that matter there again.
I have a Vox AC30C2 amplifier that is a couple of months old. It was under warranty, but I had purchased it from an on line music store. I was told that the nearest Vox dealer was in San Antonio; so that meant driving 260 miles round trip to deliver my amp to be repaired, and driving 260 miles round trip to collect it when it was repaired. I called Sound Vibrations in Corpus Christi and spoke with their amp repairman, Buddy. Buddy told me that he was an authorized Vox repair tech and to bring my amp in and let him take a look. Well, Buddy had my amp fixed in 4 days and ready to go, and there was no charge to me because it was under warranty. I was amazed at the quick service, and the fact that my amp sounds better than when I first bought it. I am very impressed with the superior service provided by Buddy at Sound Vibrations! Buddy is a very knowledgeable amp technician and he will get all of my future business. I highly recommend Buddy to anyone who has problems with an amp, or other electrical components. Forget driving to San Antonio--take your business to Buddy at Sound Vibrations! Sound Vibrations is THE BEST music store in Corpus Christi that offers the best deals on new guitars, amps, and all musical instruments. If you want to buy something new, talk with either of the 2 Roberts at Sound Vibrations. If you have something broken and needs repairs, talk to Buddy at Sound Vibrations. You might see a cheaper deal advertised from a big music store chain on line, but you will not get any customer service if something breaks or needs to be returned. Sound Vibrations stands behind all merchandise that they sell. They provide great customer service and they will match prices of their competitors, too. Give Sound Vibrations a try, and I am sure that you will be pleased. Thank you, Buddy, for doing such a great job repairing my amp, and for the fast and friendly service!
Came here to get some new headphones and cord for a mic. They let me try on some sample headphones till I found one I was satisfied with. I had also grabbed the wrong cord and when I came back to exchange it they said they didnt have any of the type that I need and said they would make me one. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!
I just want to say thanks to Robert for fixing my sons bass..about a week ago we pulled up 15 mins till closing and stated to him we needed some minor repairs done...we werent sure he could even get to it..he did say he had quite a few repairs in front of us and probably couldnt get to it soon..we stated that we needed the bass for the weekend since my son was playing at the Jazz Festival..he took the guitar apart and did who knows what to it..he did a quick repair in like 20 minutes..thanks to him my son was able to play ..we appreciate it Rob..u didnt have to do that for us but u did and that was awesome
Robert loves what he does and it shows in his work. I am glad he chose to live in this area so many years ago. Soumd vibrations and the staff i encountered were complete proffessionals. Thank yoi robert for all the help. I expect i will see him again when the time comes for more knowledge , my musical equipment and of course more fishing stories. Thanks to all at sound vibez!Jay Wikoff

2022-06-12I moved here from Austin recently and wanted to look at PRS guitars (Strat guy). There was a lone CE 24 on the wall. I tried it out, liked it, and bought it. This is a great guitar shop. Very diverse inventory, anything from entry to the best Taylor on the market. Been to a lot of guitar shops, but this one is the best IMO. For repairs or to buy a new axe, this is the place to go.

2020-11-27Best music store that Ive had the privilege of going to in 22 years! The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and have the best selection of gear that Ive ever seen under one roof. If you want real service, and a family atmosphere you wont be disappointed here. Theyve made a customer for life after my first purchase from them.

2020-02-17Saved an old hondo electric guitar from the dunpster and replaced the broken tremolo block and string nut.I took it into Sound Vibrations for help on figuring out if it still worked ( I didnt have an amp at the time). The staff were really helpful and welcoming and tested the guitar out for me and suggested I replace the jack port, and one of the dead pots. They ultimately suggested that if I am replacing one pot then I might as well replace them all, but they werent pushy about it and left it up to me to make that call. They even gave me some free replacement knobs since the guitar was missing one!I decided to take their advice, bought the repair parts there and soldered it all together the next weekend.Ultimately, the repairs worked and the guitar works and sounds great for an old 90s Hondo! Took it back to show it off and bought an amp from them too!Overall, its a great local music shop that does its own repairs in house, can sell you replacement parts, and they even service amps and what not! Yeah you might spend 10% more on some things than at a big box store like guitar center, but this place is local and these people know their stuff and are very helpful.The only down side I experienced was that while they were looking for my replacement parts, the main technician got into an argument with another staff member about how disorganized the parts drawers had become and how it was causing him trouble to find the parts he was looking for. They ultimately got me what I needed, but as a first time customer there it was a little awkward to say the least.

2020-11-0110 stars if I could!! These guys were great! Jacob was super knowledgeable and very pro. He played a few things for me on the EVH III head I was looking at and I was sold. Great customer service, friendly staff, total rockstars in my book. I used to work in a drum store just like this and it felt like I was at home. Thanks guys!!

2018-05-27Best local music store with a friendly, knowledgeable, helpful staff. Plus a huge inventory of the best quality gear. I have been shopping here since 1983. Im still playing same favorite Fender and Gibson guitars and Fenders amps I bought right here. When necessary, I always get repairs and problems solved quickly and inexpensively.
