Alamo Music Center had its humble beginnings in 1929 as little more than a way to survive The Great Depression. Alfredo Flores Sr. began his business on the front porch of an old house in San Antonio and expanded the business to fit the needs of musicians and the music loving public. Things have changed since 1929 but one thing has remained constant, the company refuses to let go of the belief that there should always be a strong emphasis on the customer and their needs. Alfredo Flores Sr., now in his 90's, still visits the store regularly to see if things are up to his standards.

Alamo Music Center has extensive experience in the sales and service of pianos and represents some of the finest piano manufacturers including; Pearl River,  Chickering, Wurlitzer and Yamaha. In the Band & Orchestra fields we carry Buffet, Emerson, Glaesel, Ludwig, Selmer, Yamaha and many others. Alamo Music Center is a full time musical equipment dealership with an extensive line of electronics, guitars and other fretted instruments, percussion and stringed instruments, and music learning tools. Walk into any Alamo Music Center, there are three, and you will be amazed at the immediate attention you receive. There is a strong bond between the company and employees, many of which are working musicians with the knowledge and expertise to help you find the instrument or equipment you need.
