Small town, close knit, semi-elitist seeming music store. Not a bad place but not…read morenoteworthy/fun/welcoming either (in my opinion). If you're a parent trying to get your kid into music I'd suggest buying something used, unless you really want to buy your kid an overkill price/quality instrument. However, if you do want to drop a lot of money on an instrument your kid may or may not like, this is the place.

If you want a place that makes you feel unwelcome in their business and you enjoy a negative…read moreshopping experience, this is the place for you! The people working there were the grumpiest, most unfriendly shop-keepers I've ever met. Perhaps, I'll take a drive to Sam Ash. Sure, it's a long drive, but it will be worth every minute for the fun time my son has in that music store - music stores should be fun to visit and this one is not. We will never go there again, and we do not recommend it - even to people we don't like.

Do not trust this company to ship anything and absolutely don't use Paypal with them. If something…read moregoes wrong (such a lost guitar during shipping in my case) they will hold your funds hostage. Use a more trustworthy company like Sweetwater, or hell, even Amazon as they stand behind their shipping and returns. Maybe they are fine in person, but never order on web. EDIT: 10/3/2017 - 2 months to the day, the missing guitar 'turned up' at my door. Have amended my review, but I standby my "don't order online" recommendation.

This is a review of their mail-order business…read more SPECTACULAR. Great selection, great prices, always good emails on gear - and they don't spam the hell out of my inbox. I live in Los Angeles and have access to LOTS of great guitar shops...that said, I've ordered THREE guitars from RC over the past couple years just because they gave me great deals, shipped quickly and do a great (generic) seetup on my g-tars. Cannot praise highly enough on their responsiveness and all-around great service and pricing. TY Riff City - I'll be back again soon!

When I came in I did not think much of what would be here but when I walked in the owner Joel and…read morethis other very nice woman both showed great engagement with me, they had a great selection of good priced electric and acoustic on top of different ukeleles and very cool old old instruments everywhere. The owner had many cool collectibles from Alice cooper, Van Halen and Mettalica. Unfortunately I did not have enough money to get a guitar that day but when I have money I will most definitely go there to get one. I played washburnes there and they sounded beautiful and looked beautiful. I would recommend you go and say hello.

Irina is simply the best piano instructor out there! We started lessons with Dr. Stene in August…read more2024, and my son has learned so much during his time with her. We worked with two other teachers prior to staring with Irina, and the difference is truly night and day. Irina has a true passion for piano, and her passion comes through clearly in her pedagogy with her students. Lessons are always tailored to her student and are not "one size fits all" lessons from a book. If there are questions in between lessons, Irina is always just a phone call away to help during those tough nights of practice. I would gladly, and highly, recommend Irina to anyone with a desire to learn to play!!

Irina is an excellent instructor and inspiring musician. She has challenged me musically and helped me reach beyond my musical goals. I now play pieces I would never have considered even trying. She is the true "Russian musician", demanding and lovingly supportive. She is beyond a doubt my favorite piano teacher and I am so lucky to have found her.
