Band & Orchestra
Instrument Repair
Menchey Music is your full-service band & orchestra instrument repair shop! Whether your instrument is in need of a minor adjustment or a full overhaul, we are the place to go.
All band & orchestra instrument repairs are done in-house at our state of the art facility in Hanover, PA. This enables us to offer a quick turnaround and free estimates. In many cases, a loaner can be provided at no cost while your instrument is being serviced.
We make it easy to keep your band or orchestra instrument in top condition. There’s no getting around it—musical instruments require regular maintenance to play their best.  In addition to our standard repair shop services, we offer an optional Maintenance & Replacement plan with our rental program and an Annual Maintenance Plan on most privately owned instruments.  Bring your instrument into any of our 8 convenient locations or schedule a school pick-up by calling 717.637.2185.
Good job on the summer repairs!
As I handed instruments out to the students this week, every repair looked clean and was in good playing condition. You guys get these done on time every summer and I appreciate the fact that I can just hand them out to the students and know that they are going to work great. Â Thanks!Â
