Written by the company

Rimmers Music, established in 1978, is one of the UK’s most experienced and trusted piano specialists. Over the years, we have built our reputation on expert advice, careful preparation, and a genuine understanding of the instruments we sell. Today, our focus is entirely on pianos, allowing us to offer a level of knowledge, service and reassurance that only a true specialist can provide. We work with customers across the UK through our piano showrooms, our established website at: www.rimmersmusic.co.uk and our dedicated education sales division, which supports schools, colleges and music services nationwide. We also serve customers through selected online marketplaces where appropriate. We specialise in both new and pre-owned pianos, offering a carefully chosen range of acoustic uprights, grand pianos, digital pianos and portable digital pianos. Every instrument we sell is selected with quality, musical value and long-term satisfaction in mind. Our aim is not simply to sell a piano, but to help each customer choose the right instrument with confidence. Our pre-owned pianos are an especially important part of what we do. We regularly acquire older instruments for restoration and resale, giving well-made pianos a new life and offering customers access to beautifully prepared instruments with character and value. This careful approach also reflects our belief in sustainability and in the lasting worth of a good piano. At Rimmers Music, service is just as important as the instrument itself. Our team is trained regularly and has extensive product knowledge, enabling us to guide customers with clear, honest and practical advice. Whether you are a beginner, an advancing pianist, a teacher, a parent, or a professional musician, we take the time to understand your needs and recommend the most suitable piano for your home, school or performance setting. We also understand that buying a piano often requires a delivery service that is every bit as professional as the sales process. For smaller items, we use trusted delivery partners, and for acoustic upright and grand pianos we provide a specialist delivery and installation service handled by experienced professionals. These instruments are moved, delivered and positioned with the care, attention and expertise they deserve. Alongside piano sales, we have also established Rimmers Music Schools across the UK, where students of all ages receive one-to-one tuition in purpose-built teaching spaces. We offer piano, keyboard and music theory lessons, and we are proud to support students whether they wish to learn for enjoyment or work towards examinations. For added flexibility, we also provide access to our exclusive online lessons. We also offer finance options on qualifying orders, helping customers invest in the right instrument in a way that is manageable and convenient. Above all, Rimmers Music is a piano specialist. We are here to offer knowledgeable guidance, carefully prepared instruments, dependable service and the reassurance that comes from dealing with an established family business with decades of experience.

Hi

I'm sorry to hear you are disappointed with the delivery service you recieved. Unfortunately the couriers that we use for larger boxed products deliveries are unable to specify a time for delivery.

I hope you enjoy your keyboard and if you need any further help please let us know.

Kind regards

Excellent service

I ordered my piano on Saturday and it arrived on Tuesday. Couldn't be happier with the piano. It arrived extremely well packaged and in perfect order. I'd definitely use Rimmers again.

Excellent service from Rimmers Music

I decided to buy a digital piano package from Rimmers Music because they are a long established business, have excellent feedback and also because they had a brilliant deal on offer, and available for next day delivery. As stated on their website, all 4 items in the deal arrived next day, at lunchtime. I’m very happy with my purchases from Rimmers Music and would definitely vuy from them again. I highly recommend this company.

A Brilliant Buying Experience

Website was informative and easy to navigate. Prices are very competitive. My items were despatched and delivered very promptly (within 21 hours of making the purchase). A special mention also for delivery partner FedEx who were excellent. Overall a great buying experience. Rimmers Music will be the first place I go to for any future purchases.

Truly Appaling customer support and company, Stay Away

I had recently ordered a keyboard, and the item was delivered on 22/07/25. The box arrived completely damaged. I called their customer support on the same day and informed them about the state in which it arrived, and even told them that I could send them pictures. From the start of the conversation, they were very defensive (not sure why), but finally agreed.
I sent them the pictures, and the reply I got via email was really appalling. I was asked to pay for the return cost when it was clearly not my mistake. I told them repeatedly this is supposed to be a gift, and I cannot, by any means, give the gift in its present condition. I was not expecting a pristine box, as I am well aware that damage can occur during transit, but this is beyond that. This is like buying a clearance item with a damaged box for less money. They twisted their terms and conditions, and when confronted about what is actually in their terms, they didn't have a reply. I was even told to just tape the damaged box and give it as a gift.

I was forced to open the box, and when I sent them pics of the inside, they said everything looks fine. I insisted that I didn't even turn ON or see if the Keyboard does indeed work, and was told it will. I trusted these guys and spent £300+ and was totally let down. I finally managed to get the extra money of around £20 I paid for an extra warranty. And now I have started a case via PayPal.

They clearly have no value towards their customers, and I am sure they must be sourcing some of their items for cheaper rates, hence the damaged box. I would advise anyone wanting to buy to go spend £10-£20 more and buy from a more reputable place to avoid the type of mess I am in now. Stay away from these people.

Hi

We're sorry to hear you are disappointed with the box your keyboard arrived in. As per our conversation on the phone, we are unfortunately unable to guarantee the condition of a box that an item arrives in. The packaging is designed to protect the item in transit and does sometimes sustain damage. We did ask you to open the box to check the contents were ok, which we feel is a reasonable request. We needed to ask this in case we needed to assist you if the item inside was damaged.

You did ask to have an extended guarantee that you had purchased refunded which we did immediately and confirmed in writing this had been done.

Any other establishment would have the same difficulties in protecting a box in transit. However we are looking into offering an overbox service whereby a customer can purchase an additional box if an item is for a gift or if the condition of the box is of particular importance.

We don't feel we have twisted anything, we simply confirmed our terms and conditions ie that we can't guarantee the state of packaging.

Kind regards

Cathy

Roland Rp701 with help from Andrew

I bought a Roland Rp701 from Rimmers a couple of months ago. I popped into the shop in Bolton and was assisted by Andrew who helped me narrow down my choices and demonstrated each one, which helped me select my favourite. He was super helpful and the whole process from purchase to delivery was seamless.

I love my piano, so many thanks to Andrew for being so helpful!

I ordered a Roland KC 200 from Rimmers Music. I ordered in on Saturday
19th July, and it arrived on Tuesday 22nd. Unfortunately, there was a fault with the master volume knob. I contacted Rimmer Music and a member of staff named Leif arranged to have the unit exchanged. On Thursday the faulty unit was collected and a new one delivered and it's brilliant.
Many thanks for outstanding customer service and a brilliant piece of kit in the Roland KC 200 at a really excellent price.
