Manning Music is the oldest continuously operated music store in Topeka, Kansas. The music store originated as Green's Music located on the second floor of a building on Kansas Avenue. Green's Music specialized in pianos, accordions, guitars and even new fangled technological equipment known as stereos. It has been said that the real trick to operating the business was hauling the pianos up and down the stairs. Becky managed Manning Music and moved it to Gage Blvd. Todd and Deb Manning purchased the store 10 years later and have continued to expand the store, emphasizing honest, personal service.

Has been great for our school and for me for my guitars has a great Luthier ( Guitar Mechanic ). Todd Manning is the man to see for all musical needs, personal and for your school district!

They are super knowledgeable and did a great job servicing my sons tenor saxophone. It literally sounds sooooo much better. He took a good bit of time going over what was fixed and how to prevent future problems all at what I would consider a super fair price. We won't go anywhere else from now on!

Manning is where we are renting a flute for my daughter. Several times our bank card has been compromised and the charge didn't go through. EVERY TIME they have been very understanding and awesome to work with

So kind, helpful, and very insightful. I went in knowing nothing about my instrument and left after learning A LOT! Very knowledgeable. I will definitely return and highly recommend!

Not very helpful. Same woman was often rude and condescending if I or my son had questions about the instrument. Automatic payments "accidentally" kept coming out. Reluctant to exchange unopened reeds with receipts when the incorrect ones were given. Repairs took weeks longer than suggested when instrument dropped off. I 100% don't recommend, it's worth the drive to go somewhere else.

They are amazing here. The knowledge that they have is great. I always buy musical instruments and parts from them and they fix my daughter and sons violins and they get them done quickly. Awesome work. I would recommend them to everyone. They rent to own instruments and fix them.

Staff has been very helpful to this non-musically inclined person. My son plays a couple instruments and daughter recently got a ukelele. I also take my son for weekly music lessons. Priced right. Always running on time. And he is learning a lot!

Manning music has helped my children in ways no other Music Store in Topeka could. They have allowed me rent to own for violins and drums for my kids. They have instructed us on getting scholarships for free lessons and have treated us with kindness and respect. They have the highest quality of instruments and the best customer service I have ever experienced. They donate to local schools when kids cannot afford instruments or trips to play outside the state. I am impressed with the store and their professionalism.

Great music store. They really go out of their way to help you with whatever you need. A great asset to the independent business community in Topeka.
