Dennis worked some really great deals for me and was awesome to talk to each time. I started going to the shop back when they were in Tempe in the 90s. Even with the shop on the other side of the valley now it is well worth the drive. You will not find the quality service or instruments anywhere else as they deal exclusively with bass gear. I am sure to be back once my funds replenish from the recent spree :)

It's the exact opposite of big chain guitar stores. Very simple and to the point. The best part is the guys who own/operate the place are bassists, not salespeople. They are interested in the bass and the people who play it. Never have I felt so satisfied or listened to inside of a "instrument store". I'm extremely glad I purchased a dealer exclusive Warwick from them. Truly a gem that has earned my future business.

I greatly appreciate his knowledge and expertise as well as his flexibility in helping me on such short notice! I am really excited to start my upcoming symphony season strong!

The place was very spacious and filled with a ton beautiful pianos that are available for sale. We weren't in the market so we didn't check prices. They have a back studio room with a grand piano that is worth over $200k that performers get to use. The recital room is on the smaller size but that is perfect to keep the performances more intimate and less stress for the performers. All in all this was a great location and place for a musical recital.

Excellent service and fantastic products. Over the 2021 holidays I reached out to James at…read moreRiverton Piano in Peoria via the text app on their website with some general questions. James was quick to respond and answered all my questions. I had a rough idea of what I was looking for (a Roland digital piano) but with the current supply issues I wasn't sure what would be available and right for me. James' extensive knowledge helped guide me to the perfect piano for me. I placed my order just after Christmas and by the end of the week I had the most beautiful baby grand digital Roland piano in my living room. It looks and sounds just amazing and I truly could not be happier. The piano mover had everything setup and ready to go by the time he left and he also was 5 star. For me and I'm sure many of you reading this, buying a piano is a big investment and something that you expect to enjoy for many years to come. You really can't put yourself in better hands than James and his team at Riverton. They will make sure that you get just the right fit for you and your budget and they stand by their products. They even threw in a free membership to their exclusive Roland owners club that has all kinds of free digital downloads and perks. If you have been thinking of unleashing your inner creativity with a new or used piano, take the leap and do it with confidence that Riverton will guide you to just the right instrument for you with a professional service like no other. I can't speak highly enough about James, his team and his company. Thank you and happy new year to all.

If you have a tube amp, sooner or later you will need maintenance or repair.

That being said, this makes my 4th visit to Hunt Amplification for amp repairs, since I buy and sell them locally in the used market.

I'd recommend him, but you've probably already heard of his fantastic business, and if you haven't heard of him and not sure what you do, you can always try GC, LOLZ

They have live showcases and jam sessions if you are interested in participating as well. If you're considering singing up for lessons, just do it! :)

Since signing up five months ago, I have developed faster than I ever thought possible. Kim is a great instructor, is very patient, and tailors the lessons to what I want to learn. She provides great feedback and pushes me to be better. Mike has been great in the optional Saturday Jam sessions and is a wizard with tailoring the sessions to the level of players that show up. Nick and Ashley are about the nicest and most encouraging people I have ever met. Overall, if your looking to get additional instruction in guitar, I highly recommend them! You won't be disappointed.

Started taking lessons with Brett 18 years ago when I was 13 years old, and have to say, I learned…read moremore from him than any teacher on my musical journey. He prepared me for numerous auditions spanning from rock and jazz bands to drumlines and performance groups. He inspired me to push myself harder and it ended up paying off ten-fold. A few examples of my successes due to Brett include making the tenor line on the ASU drumline as a freshman, becoming a paid musician as part of PHX percussion (Phoenix Suns Drumline), working as a touring musician in a band throughout my early 20's including gigs on the Warped Tour and multiple national tours and preparing me for teaching opportunities at Ironwood and St. Mary's High Schools. To say Brett had a profound influence on my life would be an understatement. He can give you the tools, it depends on how the student chooses to use them. I do see one negative review referencing his teaching style. Brett provides one-hour sessions, sometimes with multiple students of the same skill level, which gives you an opportunity to work through complicated rhythms during the lesson rather than getting a crash course in 30 minutes like most other instructors. He is as hands on as you need him to be. This was the only environment that I felt I actually learned in rather than going home and teaching myself. Still to this day, I go in and take occasional lessons with Brett to help me continue to develop different styles and expand my knowledge base. I recommended my brother start taking my nephew in to start his journey in drums with him when he turned 8 and I will definitely be taking my children in someday (if I have them in time before he retires)! To summarize, if you want to get kick ass at drums, go see Brett.
