Mr. Andrew DeFord visited our home today to tune and fix our antique grand piano. This piano has…read morebeen in the family for 100 years, but is a solid, unique instrument in a beautifully carved case. Andrew took the time to tune it carefully to standard, fix a key, and examine it thoroughly as it will soon have a new home. I was fascinated to watch the process as he dismantled the keyboard to reach the defective hammer and fix it all the while explaining what he was doing and why. I highly recommend this professional and knowledgeable young man; great service and reasonable price. Dr. Eunice Merideth

My eldest quickly lost interest right…read moreout of the chute, however, Dorothy's willingness to focus in on a song choice that my daughter had to work on for her school's winter program really pulled her back in and kept her interested. Both girls love her and I like that she has shown us flexibility with a nice, sunny attitude. The staff at Rieman are always kind, patient and helpful, even when my kids are acting like they're suuuuuuuper four and six. That goes a long way with me!

The store was pretty cluttered and disorganized, but it was fun to look around at what they did have. I didn't buy anything and found the guitar I was looking for somewhere else in town, so it wasn't a wasted trip. I gave them three stars just because they told me they had the guitar I was looking for and then when I got there they didn't. Otherwise I would have given them another because it was such an eclectic place and the guy working there was friendly. It is worth it to stop in if you're in the neighborhood.

This is a store where you find that first instrument that you love because you know you have the need to make your fingers move. One of the problems with so many inexpensive guitars is that they are cheap. Rob has inexpensive guitars, but he has companies like Harley Benton, which make amazingly good instruments for the price point. If you are looking to start out, or just need a good backup at a decent price, this is the place to start.

When we did get it back, it was immaculate. He replaced several parts of the switching, since they had gone bad over the years. He put a couple of new toppers on a couple of the sliders. Superb work.

I've always known about this place but haven't needed their services so I stopped in.
