Rimmers easily had the best price for the boss katana I bought recently. The item wasn’t in stock but they still got the amp to me in less than a week.

I Ordered a Roland Cube Street ex for delivery the following day which did not turn up. I had to contact them and was told that the stock had run out and that they would fulfil the order within seven days which they did before the end of the seven day period.

The guitar I purchased is fantastic the only thing that was wrong was a totally different guitar was delivered to me after apanic I phoned customer service s who tracked my guitar down. They arranged for the wrong guitar to be collected and then the next day my guitar would be delivered to me. I have to give thanks to the other guy who received my guitar as he phoned Rimmers telling them that he had the wrong guitar an honest man thank you very much all good now.

I purchased a Yamaha S970 before Christmas and have had many hours of fun with it. My partner said she has never heard me play so much, its a fantastic instrument. On a down note though it was sold with thirty free lessons and I have looked at the web site and it looks to me that I can only get the lessons from a store and the nearest to me will be a day trip out for a lesson, also my health is failing fast in that my hands are becoming arthritic and although I love playing it is becoming very painful and I don't know how much longer I can play the instrument before having to part with it and who will want it.

Great customer service. I was a little disappointed that my piano was out of stock even though it hadn't said that on the website. That being said, I can't fault the customer service and the speed at which the problem was sorted out. Love my piano. Just got to learn to play it now!

Assistant in store was very helpful with demo and explanation of features of different models Online ordering allowed us to choose a delivery day, but we later got an email saying this would not be possible. Delivery was within the promised 7 days but we did not receive tracking info in advance

Polite helpful staff and super fast delivery. Only single man delivery for a piano when should really have been two man delivery.

Unfortunately a product I wanted to order was out of stock, otherwise I would have awarded a 5 star rating. Rimmers did contact me on the day I placed the order to advise me the product was out of stock and agreed to send me an alternative product, for the same price. The item arrived, on the date and within the times stated. Cannot fault their customer service.

The product arrived damaged because the LP7A was cracked. I spent £25 to get it installed. I took photos of the faulty product and within two hours it was arranged to send a preplacement part immediately. It cost me another £10 to install the piano. The customer services team were very professional and handled the problem promply. Although the fault cost me an extra£10 the service was very good

We ordered a piano online and there was a problem due to the delivery address being different to the billing address. It took a couple of days to get this sorted as technical difficulties meant we could not get through to the online shop. However, once someone did call us back we got the right piano at the original price the following day so thank you very much for that.

A very good value instrument but the guitar took more than the week Rimmers claimed it would take to arrive and it was not set up either, so a couple of strings buzzed. Thankfully tools were supplied as part of the guitar kit and I was able to adjust the bridge myself. Overall, if you are not a guitar snob, Yamaha guitars are good pieces of kit for beginners and experienced players not just great value items for people on a budget. Think; Kia, Hyundai, Suzuki cars ..which I drive in preference to offerings from big mainstream manufacturers and you will get my point of view. From Rimmer Music £193 for a left-handed Yamaha guitar 112J with case, delivered. Their heart is in the right place and I will buy from them again.

Bought a digital Piano. Was told online that I could have it delivered the next day but apparently there was a problem with stock so it was delivered one working day later. I was a bit disappointed but I’m so thrilled with the piano that it didn’t really matter. I was kept updated with the progress of my purchase by email.
