A Colorado, family owned tradition since 1951.Sixty years in the music business gives us pause to thank every single customer who has supported us over the years. Although we may have made many changes during the last six decades, we sincerely hope that our customer service has only improved and become the foundation of all our relationships.Mel Flesher started our company as a wholesale repair shop, which developed into the business of repairing school instruments, and in time, offered accessories and books. Eventually, service to schools was added along with offering band and orchestra instruments, and an expanded sheet music department. As you can see by our history, serving the educational community has always been an important part of our company.Today, Flesher-Hinton Music Company, still owned by the Flesher family, stocks and services top of the line brand name instruments and accessories, and offers an outstanding selection of print music and music software. Our staff is trained to assist you with all elements of the music business and our specialists from percussion to repair to technology are poised to make recommendations, assist in problem solving, and answer even the most technical of questions.In addition to sales and service, our instrument rental program has been touted as best in the state. Serving Colorado school music programs since 1951, we know Colorado teachers and we know they count on us for service. With program features such as no interest ever, flexible instrument exchange options, 100% of the rental applied toward purchase, and loaner instruments during repair and maintenance, teachers can feel confident that their students and parents are being treated with honesty and respect.These days, doing business with Flesher-Hinton Music is easier than ever. We recently relocated from our old home on Tennyson to a new location in Wheat Ridge. Now located about a mile north-west at 5890 W 44th ave, the new location has greatly improved parking and easier access than our old location. Times have changed, products have been enhanced and technology has exploded in the last fifty years. Keeping up with the times has put Flesher-Hinton on the cutting edge of the retail music business. Our tradition of personal service has Flesher-Hinton in the performance halls of Colorado and in the classrooms of our future musicians.We know that our commitment to our community does not begin and end at our sales counters. It has always been the philosophy of our company that we should share our time and expertise with those we serve; that we give back to the music community and in particular to those dedicated to the education of our children.As we continue our next sixty years, we will strive to maintain your trust and never take your support for granted.

The Only Place I Go For Repairs

Had purchased an old (1910) vintage Conn New Invention cornet from an estate sale. I wasn't sure it would be able to be restored to playing condition as it had a lot of corrosion on the tuning slides and was severely tarnished. Long story short the experts at Flesher-Hinton restored and cleaned it to what looks almost like new condition. (They even replaced a missing handle on the case and added cork back to the vintage mute in the case, which was such a great touch). I've got to hand it to these guys, they are courteous, knowledgeable, and highly skilled craftsmen. I've had other horns into their shop (from modern trumpets to vintage instruments like the one noted above), and they have always done a great job repairing them in short order and at reasonable prices.I am a member of several local bands (community band, brass band, jazz band), and am a Phi Mu Alpha alumni. I no longer go anywhere else to have my instruments serviced. I still highly recommend Flesher-Hinton to anyone in the Colorado and surrounding states who needs their instruments serviced, repaired, or restored.

Old Horn Brought Back To Life

I was looking for a local shop to look at an old trumpet (a 1930's vintage PMI Victory student horn) to see if it could be saved/conserved. It had a number of dents and was showing red on quite a bit of the surface. After reading a number of positive reviews, I decided to take it to Flesher-Hinton to see what could be done. To make a long story short, they removed the red that was just surface tarnish, removed the dents, and in short brought it back to life. I can't tell you how happy I was to see the horn in such good shape, as it has extreme sentimental value.The guys in the shop were very courteous and helpful, and completed the repair in a shorter time than I thought possible, and the price for the service was very reasonable given the extent of the repairs necessary.If you've got a brass instrument that needs repair, I highly recommend going to see Flesher-Hinton. You won't go wrong.

BEST STORE EVER

I love going into FH these guys seem to know everything. I've been renting an instrument for a year now and my kid loves to play. They make it easy for me to pay online for my rental and the guy who comes out to our school is very helpful. Best store in the state!

Horrible

Once again I had a horrible experience trying to get my trumpet repaired and FH. I stood in line while the service agent shot the breeze with his friend. They seemed annoyed that I was there interupting there "quality time". When they finally decided to ask me what I wanted the service agent told me that it would be 6 weeks before they could clean my trumpet. I asked if they could do it sooner for pro players that needed there instruments for work. He smuggly replied, "no". If you are a professional player FH is not the place for you. I will never go there, or recommend them again.

Service decline

So sorry to see a lack of service like the "old" days. Maybe the owner is just getting tired?

You'll "note" the difference!

Great prices and friendly employees who happily sponsor local student events. A great source for all musical needs.

Put one of these in Parker!

With three kids and 9 instruments, we have come to depend on Flesher Hinton for EVERYTHING music related. Repairs, new cases, sheet musice and gifts - whatever we need, they have. And we appreciate the support they give to the school music programs.

A wonderful store

The products and services are really first rate. I love supporting a local business instead of a "chain" music store. I miss the satellite store in Aurora
