Menchey Music Service Inc

Founded in 1936 by J. Robert Menchey, Menchey Music Service inspires families to learn and appreciate music. From our headquarters in Hanover, PA, we have expanded to serve our neighbors in Central Pennsylvania and Maryland from our 8 locations. We rent and sell band and orchestral instruments, including percussion, woodwinds, brass, and strings. Renting an instrument is a popular way for parents to let their child try several instruments before settling on one. With our instrument rental program, 100% of your payments apply towards purchase. Maintenance and replacement protection is an option in the rental, giving you peace of mind in case the instrument gets lost, damaged, or stolen. We also offer private music lessons out of all 8 locations. They each host personalized music lessons by qualified, skilled instructors. Flexible scheduling and lessons that adapt for students of all ages and skill levels means that you can receive proper music instruction at your level when you want it. Visit one of our store to browse our piano gallery, shop for instruments and equipment – including guitars, amps, and audio gear – order popular sheet music, and pick up reeds, strings, picks, and other musical accessories.
