From the reviews
My son and daughter have been coming here for some time now. My son for 2 years and my daughter for 1. We were somewhat lost when Coffey closed but when we were directed to Menchey, we have been extremely happen. The Westminster store is great. It is clean, organized, friendly, and just a joy to walk in every time.
Ms. Shoko has been teaching my son to play piano since he was 6 years old at the Westminster MD store. She is an amazing teacher - she has taught him not only how to play the piano, but also allowed him to work on his creativity, grace and courtesy, confidence and public speaking skills which are areas he struggles in.
By far your best choice for all the music things!! My 8 year old twins have been attending Menchey in Westminster for piano lessons with Miss Stephanie, and we couldn't be happier.
My son just bought a guitar there today. The clerks were wonderful and let my son take his time to figure out what he wanted and just play with the instruments, respectfully. It was a really nice experience.
Selling or trading gear at Menchey Music Service, Inc.
Menchey Music Service, Inc. 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.
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Menchey Music Service, Inc.. 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.
