From the reviews
Very knowledgeable staff. Came in looking for a trumpet cleaning kit for my 10 year old. They were cheaper than online prices and took the extra 10 minutes to show us the tricks n things to look for while cleaning the trumpet. Great service Rieman Music!!! Would highly recommend
Bought an Ibanez RG out of this location. The guy looked at the price tag and said "Oh, we can do better than that," and sold me the guitar for less than they were originally asking. This was a few years back, but always left an impression. Got any more Ibanez guitars in stock now?
I paid $50 for an acoustic repair when all was said and done. They had to replace or sand down the nut as it came out of place and adjust the neck and clean frets. Guitar was practically unplayable when I brought it in and it plays like a dream now. Nice work
Great shop for school band instruments, sales and repair. Not much for guitar and amps.
Lessons at Rieman Music - Altoona
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Rieman Music - Altoona. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
