I began learning the saxophone at age 15 when my brother picked up a Tenor and left me his student Alto Sax. After nearly a decade of playing horns I am glad to say that Robert's Musical Instruments has always been, and will hopefully always be, my primary music shop. The staff has always treated my family and I with the utmost respect. Although they may occasionally come off as curt, it is never with ill intent.
Odds are they're just being direct about the quality/condition of your instrument or trying to understand your needs in a timely manner. They will let you test play all easily accessible parts and follow it with thorough cleaning. The staff will periodically check on you to see what you think and provide more suggestions based on your thoughts and commentary.
If you're lucky you'll get a nice 3 minute chat with them, too. Robert's musical instruments will always be my number one recommendation to all new and experienced musicians looking for a good horn shop/repair center. Thank you for being the best in Rhode Island!

Went to buy a Capo for my new guitar (a black Yamaha APX-600 acoustic electric). The staff at Robert's treated me with the same level of courtesy and respect as they did when I purchased my new guitar from them. I always feel welcomed in their store. Stellar service, great products, least expensive prices (comparable to Amazon). If you're like me and want to try before you buy, go to Robert's.

One largest and best selections of Ukeleles in New England, with instruments from beginners to advanced. The range of intermediate level Ukes is astoundly good. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, patient to questions, and helpful. The have a wide selection of other instruments too, but ukes are my thing. This is the first place I tell people to go, when ask me about my own Ukeleles. I purchased my own favorite uke from Roberts Music and will likely buy another soon.

Nothing but wonderful things to say about Robert's! My 9 yr old son has been obsessed with the group 2Cellos, and has been begging for lessons. The staff at Robert's has been more than willing to help me find a cello teacher, which is not an easy task. The day we picked up the instrument, they fit him for his size and gave him a quick run-down. Then we had a great time finding music books for his sisters who play flute, oboe and clarinet.
Great selection of music, instruments, really anything you need. The shop was much bigger than I expected and has lesson rooms on site. Wish we lived closer but was very worth the 45 minute drive!

After being disappointed at guitar center I took a ride up the street to Robert's music and I was very satisfied with the service and they had the amp that I wanted and I was very pleased that the sales lady was very professional and very helpful and answered all my questions. it's so nice to see that there are some good mom and pop stores out there that are hanging on because this really is truly a really nice little music shop where you can actually take all kinds of music lessons.
The electric guitar inventory isn't great but they can always find what you're looking for. I highly recommend Robert's music store for all your musical needs and even instrument repair. I find myself extremely lucky for finding this great little music shop!

I stopped by Robert's yesterday, and I saw a new black Yamaha APX-600 thinline acoustic/electric guitar with built-in tuner. I strained every fiber in my body to force myself not to buy it on impulse. I went home and thoroughly researched it for both quality and price. I learned that it was one of the best guitars in the under $300 range. It is very well constructed and sounds great in relation to comparable models.
It's versatile and easy to play. Not a single bad review. I returned to Robert's today, and bought the guitar. And, to my delight, Robert's undercut online prices--thus allowing me the opportunity to afford a gig bag, strap, and picks. This is my place to shop for quality new products.

My son decided one day that he wanted to take up the clarinet so we headed over to Robert's Musical Instruments to rent one. He didn't stick with it but did manage to lose the mouth piece at school. Thankfully we had insurance on it. The folks at Robert's were helpful and friendly. If your child wants to try taking up an instrument, this is the place to go.
They have everything you'll need to get started. The ability to rent an instrument is a life-saver for parents on a budget who are not certain their child will still be playing it in 6 months.
