From the reviews
During a recent visit to Menchey music's store in Hanover, I had a great experience with two of the Ladies servicing the store. These two ladies were extremely helpful. I went in with the intentions of just looking and walked out with a brand new guitar. It was the ladies that made the difference.
Very pleased with the repair services provided at Menchey Music! I have brought all of my saxophones there over the years for repairs and services, and have been thoroughly happy and impressed every time it is returned to me.
I take my son here every week to get his piano lesson and recommend anyone to take lessons from them. Easy payment method and great opportunities for seasonal recitals. Thanks for all the memories of my son at your recitals.
It may be out of my way, but I love stopping here anytime I'm in the area. Always very helpful and kind staff. It is well stocked and tidy, I absolutely love this shop. I am happy to call it my music store.
Selling or trading gear at Menchey Music Service, Inc. Retail Store
Menchey Music Service, Inc. Retail Store comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
Lessons at Menchey Music Service, Inc. Retail Store
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Menchey Music Service, Inc. Retail Store. 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.
