Hello friends.
Just a friendly reminder that we ARE still enforcing the statewide mask mandate for our safety as well as your’s. If you do not wish to comply, or can not physically wear a mask, we are still happy to offer curbside service to you. Simply call the store and arrange it when you get to the parking lot.
As always, you are also welcome to pay rental bills via phone with a card or by mailing a check. We also have a mail slot on our front door if you need or want to deliver your payment after business hours.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We hope to return to some sense of normalcy soon, but for now, the safety of our customers and staff is what is most important.
We are currently experiencing some slight hiccups with our online rental payment form. If you have any issues, please feel free to call the store during business hours and we will gladly help you complete the form and get your rental set up, or, you are welcome to come to the store in person and we will do a manual form with you and get you set up that way.
Thanks so much for your patience.
Lexington native David Henderson (with a little help from 3 friends) shows how he is coping with “safe at home.” Outstanding!

Rodney Riggs, one of our repair technicians, masterfully rolling out the dents on this tuba bell. Tuba is his instrument that he plays, so he is extra passionate about getting tubas done as perfect as he can.
Teachers from EJ Hayes Middle School here in Lexington stopped in for a virtual field trip last week. We had fun showing them the different parts of the store and giving some demonstrations as well! They were kind enough to send us the video link for anyone else who’d like a tour of the store! Or, you can come in Monday- Friday 10-6 and Saturday 10-4 and see for yourself why students, parents, and teachers have used Hurst for their band and orchestra needs since 1960.

Since last March, Covid-19 has made it difficult for those in the music community to perform, and has also made it hard on those of us who enjoy attending concerts.
The University of Kentucky Music Dept. has graciously posted all of their school of music concerts from the 2020 school year online for anyone to view them! Click the link below to browse their selection and enjoy at your leisure.
