After checking out a few local places and some not so local, I decided to pop in to Menchey's and drop my guitar off for some new strings and a quick set-up. Disclaimer: I'm an absolute beginner and currently know next to nothing about guitars. That being said, when I walked in I was met by Dave who was more than happy to walk over and explain the different types of strings I could choose from and ultimately I went with his suggestion, given my beginner level. He eyed my guitar and said he could see a bit of a slight bend in the neck but it was no big deal and he'd have it fixed in a couple of days. He actually ended up having it ready for me by the time I was off work the very next day. The strings Dave suggested have resulted in my guitar becoming about 1000x more playable for me and my non-calloused fingers, which I am absolutely sure will get me over this beginner's learning curve and on my way to actually playing for real!
I'm extremely glad I came here over the other places I had looked into. Thank you Menchey's and thanks...

Extremely competitive repair prices, too! Currently have them working on an old tenor sax, and I could not be happier with all they have done for me! I trust them to work on even my most important horn, which is saying something.
You can tell the repair techs take pride in their work, are honest, and want to give you the best playing instrument that they can provide. I will...
Read moreBetter than expected - was able to try out 3 different trombones, including one brought in from the Lancaster Store especially for me to test. Never expected that opportunity. Plus, the staff allowed me to use one of the practice rooms so I could test out all three instruments to my heart's desire. When I finally decided on the one I bought, I knew it was the one I wanted and I haven't looked back since! Also, to know they have a service department to help if a need arises was the icing on the cake. Great staff, great experience. The Chambersburg Sr. High School Band Director David Wenerd was the one who recommended I try Menchey's and I have also thanked him for the...
