Found RIT Music while I was next door at New Holland Brewery sampling every flavor of Dragons Milk (yes, you should do this, too)... ANYWAY- RIT Music is pretty cool! some good deals on the guitar wall, they had a decent selection of pedals, some drums that seemed like a pretty good deal (up on a high shelf, didn't get a close look). The skate shop side was great, thirteen year old me would have lost his mind. Staff was friendly and welcoming. One guy was quiet, but he was cool- sometimes I'm quiet too, you can chill until you want to join the conversation, quiet guy- it's cool! the other two guys were hyper friendly fun people. We talked about pedals and Coheed and Cambria and had a great time. I bought some strings I don't need quite yet and a candle that smells surprisingly good, but I'm going to save up for next time I'm up there so I can grab a pedal (or something better!) because those guys were great. Definitely going back to Holland, and definitely going back to RIT Music!

This business has changed for the better! Previously there…read morewere times when I have gone into the store and felt as if attention could be better. Maybe it was the pandemic and caution? But...things have changed for the better! My last few times in the store the staff was handing me guitars, picks, a tuner... They have been very accommodating! Once I decided on what guitar I wanted and paid for, I left it for Randy to set up. The Set Up was awesome. You know they care! Yesterday I was shopping effects pedals. The staff suggested different pedals and connected all of them to an amp and guitar for me to sample. It was great! I actually purchased a pedal the staff recommended, based on the sound I was seeking. As a self-taught (internet) guitar player, it is nice to enter a music store and have fun and enlightening conversations about music. Thank you!

In fact, I really enjoy playing again since an out-of-tune piano can be a painful experience. Jeff Hall arrived on time and spent a great deal of time calming down the upper register notes that had journeyed off into the Twilight Zone since my last tuning. If you are in the Grand Rapids area and want a top-notch tuner, Jeff Hall is the one to call.

The staff was friendly and laid back while still maintaining a respectful air of professionalism. When I had questions they were answered concisely, and my options laid out comprehensively. I thought the studio itself was very nice and the room sounded good. There were plenty of mics and preamps to choose from, and a lot of great vintage gear too. To summarize my opinion of river city studios as somebody who's worked in the industry as an audio engineer and a studio musician, these guys know their stuff, get the job done for a fair price, and above all they make the session a fun one. I will absolutely be returning to this business in the future and I would recommend them to anyone.

When you want to change something, it's a big hassle for them (very poor customer service). They have a good reputation in the area... that's why I went with them... but they are old and getting deaf. I had to take my stuff to another place and have it all remixed as well as re-recording a few parts that they didn't catch initially. The guy I had rework it was phenomenal, much faster, knew EVERYTHING about his job, and was extremely friendly (with great ears!). I won't post his name in a River City review, but I'll tell you, shop somewhere else!
