Helpful place with a broad selection of string instruments. I was looking for a Baby Taylor for my 9yo daughter, so we stopped in for a look. They didn't have the BT, but they did have a few GS-mini guitars in stock. My daughter played a keyboard in the back of the store for a bit, and one of the store sales-techs came over and noted her skill at the keyboard. (She has been taking piano lessons for 3 years, and started guitar lessons this September.) We then we moved to the climate controlled acoustic guitar room. Of particular interest was a GS-mini-e in Koa. What a beautiful guitar, and the sound from that KOA wood! My daughter played several of the guitars, and they didn't seem to mind her handling them at all. We ended up buying the GS Mini E in Koa. Nice bunch of guys, very helpful; they'll help you just as much as you want. Convenient location, just off 96 and Plainfield.

Scott and crew are consistently taking care of both our church and venue needs. Always friendly, helpful, warm and personal. Fantastic selection without big box choice overload. Something for every musician and every budget. Keep your spending dollar in our community and support RIT Music!

Scott and the staff are super knowledgeable and honest and helpful when it comes to buying and selling guitars. I have now sold a couple of guitars and they are patient with my questions and very fair on the commission. They have been doing it a long time and it’s just a great place to go for all your musical needs. Highly recommend!!

I took my old Giannini nylon guitar in for a set up and a passive piezo install. The luthier explained the pros and cons of doing such a thing and based on his profound knowledge and honesty, I decided to keep it as is. From that experience, and others with the staff, I changed allegiance to RIT and only buy merchandise from them. You're not going to find a better bunch of guys as dedicated, honest, helpful and knowledgeable in the business. Truly one of a kind!
