Having tried other stores, I have been to Rivard Brothers at least 5 times. 4 times for my sons Bari Sax reeds and once to fix his Bari. Great service and a great staff and my son likes it, and that’s the most important.
Renting violins for my stepson and myself was pain-free and surprisingly affordable. I’ve had to go back a couple times for minor issues and they always help with a smile and no eye-rolling when it turns out to be something dumb like not enough rosin on the brand-new bow. You’re not getting amazing quality…
