Richard E. Menzel founded Menzel Violins in 1973. Inspired by his background in aerospace quality control, Menzel developed and implemented numerous new repair techniques and tools. Menzel studied lutherie with the famous Carleen Hutchins of Montclair, New Jersey, whose works can be seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. He was also the Secretary of the Catgut Acoustical Society for twenty-five years. Richard was widely known for honesty and integrity in his business dealings. He opposed widespread use of teacher kickbacks and commissions that can add up to six hundred percent to the price of an instrument.

We are proud of our large and splendid inventory of European and American full-size instruments offered at strictly honest prices. We hand pick only the finest violins, violas and cellos with the truest and clearest tone. Each instrument is selected with an eye to its utility for classical, traditional or carnatic playing.

Go thru the circle at Eisenhower Parkway. Continue East to the light at Livingston Avenue (Starbucks on the right; Federated Church on the left). Go left at the Livingston Avenue light. Go right at the very first light into the Town Square Complex. We are just under the clock tower (2nd floor).
