Rimmers Music has won Yamaha’s Timeless Keys Award. We are proud to receive this recognition from Yamaha and to share it with our customers.
The award reflects our combined performance across sales, customer service, product knowledge and instrument display—areas that come together when helping a customer find the right instrument.
Across our Yamaha range, we help customers choose with clear explanations, useful demonstrations and a team to turn to with questions. Whether you are choosing your first keyboard or investing in an acoustic grand piano, we want you to feel comfortable exploring the options.
Recognition for the people behind your Yamaha
Established in 1978, Rimmers Music is a family-run piano and keyboard specialist. Receiving Yamaha’s Timeless Keys Award is a proud moment for the team and recognises the work that goes into helping customers before, during and after a purchase.
Knowledge that helps you choose
Two instruments can look similar and feel very different to play. Our role is to help you understand those differences and decide which matter to you: the response of the keys, the sound through headphones, the way the pedals behave, or how easily you can use the creative features.
Your experience, musical interests, available space and budget all help shape a useful shortlist. If you are buying for someone else, tell us about the person who will play and we can help you explore suitable choices.
Displays and demonstrations that make differences clear
A showroom visit lets you sit at an instrument, hear it and explore the controls for yourself. A demonstration can help you compare the tone of acoustic pianos, hear how a digital piano responds to quiet playing, explore a Clavinova accompaniment or discover how a synthesiser combines sounds.
If you already play, bring a short piece you know and try it on your shortlisted instruments. If you are starting out, ask us to demonstrate them and explain what to listen and feel for. Contact your chosen showroom before travelling to check the models you would like to try.
Service that continues after you choose
Our team can help with questions about your instrument and the delivery options available for your order. Knowing what is included and how your instrument will reach its intended room is part of choosing confidently. You can also contact Rimmers Music when you need help after your purchase.
