From the reviews
Way back when I was young, when Menchey was out in East York, I never cared for them. These days, it is a totally different experience. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They provide genuine experience based insight.
I was so pleasantly surprised to know that Mencheys carried guitar strings and changed strings too! The staff was helpful and made a very good suggestion since they were out of my favorite strings. Well, now, I have a new favorite type of strings!! #elixirlightpolyweb Thanks Mencheys!
Great little music shop. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and quality merchandise for reasonable prices. Found all the electric guitar accessories I wanted!
I would like to appreciate my son's teacher Ms Foreshteh for her patience and dedication. When my son started taking lessons with her a few years back, he was not very focused but througout the years, she has worked with him patiently, always encouraging him to bring his A game.
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.
