The item a Vox mini 5 is an excellent product, however, I was disappointed that .I could not see it in store, ir purchase it. One of the reasons .I would go to Rimmers is to try out things before purchase and I am more likely to buy from Rimmers if I can try before I buy, otherwise there is nothing to separate you from other online stores,

Hi Simon I’m so sorry you re disappointed. As we discussed on the phone were showing stock that we then found wasn’t available. We then as checked how quickly we could get a guitar for you and our supplier advised 3-5 days. We passed this information on in good faith; however we we chased this up when it was due, we were then regrettably informed of a much longer lead time, which was beyond our control. We did let you know as soon as we knew this and refunded your order as soon as you requested it. If we can do anything else to help now or in the future please let us know. Regards Cathy

I bought a second hand guitar amp for my son. He was over the moon with it. That’s as good as I can review the amp, however, the speed of delivery was excellent. Was delivered within 48 hours by courier at no extra charge, so again excellent.

Hi We re so sorry this has gone wrong. We shipped your strings when you ordered them. They were a specialist one off item of stock. We had no knowledge that you hadn't received them until you notified us. We have launched an investigation with our courier (we use DPD rather than the postal system as we find them more reliable ) It appears your item was lost in transit. As soon as you have let us know you had not received your order we have issued a refund as we are unable to source further stock of this item. Please do accept our apologies for any inconvenience. Regards Cathy

Great. There was a problem where an item was received damaged. Rimmers Music responded to my message immediately & resolved the issue perfectly.

My used 2014 PRS Custom 24 arrived next day, well packed. The bridge pickup mounting screw had come away from the treble side, so I only had to remove the pickup and found the spring inside and re-connected it. The setup was fine, but I've set the action to how I'd like it. Lovely guitar. (still waiting for the tremolo arm, which was missing in the package?

My experience of rimmers is absolutely positive! The only problem I had was the fact that the guitar I ordered arrived slightly damaged, but was quickly replaced without any problem! I cannot rate them highly enough.

Whenever possible I try not to shop at the online behemoths, so happy to find a store where the price was competitive and the service and communication was second to none.

Liked the violin nicely made but badly let down by the poor quality cheap strings. When tuning the violin the E string snapped before I even had the chance to play. I had to purchase a complete set of new good quality strings which added a lot to the price of the instrument. Very bad

I recently brought the Epiphone Les Paul Special II AFD Slash Performance pack and had an issue with the AMP as it didn’t work and the built in tuner didn’t work properly, after emailing them about the situation they quickly emailed me back and replaced the whole pack very quickly. Very impressed with this company and will be definitely purchasing from here again.

Looked around the marketplace and chose Rimmers Music because of reviews and competitive pricing. Ordered one day and delivered the next - (Dorset). Sturdy packaging. Unpacked and after reading instructions I connected cables/ear phones and switched on. Sound is good and everything I've read about the piano is true. A quality piece of kit supplied by an established company at a competitive price. What more do I need!

I bought an electric piano from you last week online. Ordering was very easy, delivery was quick and the price was competitive. I will definitely use Rimmers Music again in the future.
