Services
We sell a wide range of new and used musical instruments including guitars, basses, ukuleles, banjos, and band and orchestra instruments. We also sell corresponding accessories and supplies, sheet music, and gift items. Stop by to see what we have in stock or to special order an item from our catalogue.
Sometimes you may not be sure if you want to invest in a new or used instrument. That's where renting comes in. The instruments we rent are in like new condition and are guaranteed to give you the best chance at successfully making music. Call to ask if we have new or used instruments available for sale. Our stock can change almost daily. If you want to be put on a waiting list for the next used instrument to be repaired, we can do that too.
Keeping an instrument in good working order doesn't happen by accident. Whether it's repairing accidental damage or conducting preventive maintenance, our repair shop personnel are highly trained and eager to keep your instruments in top working order. All brass and woodwind instruments develop buildup inside the bore from saliva deposits and foreign material blown into the instrument. While you can minimize this by brushing your teeth before you play, all instruments eventually need cleaning to stay in top condition.

Blue Note Music is the ONLY place I take my middle school band classroom instruments for repairs! It's also the only name I give to my students' parents for supplies and repairs. The store has the best quality repairs for the best price. They are fair and really care about getting your instruments in the best shape. Plus it's best to support local shops, and you can't get more local than Blue Note! I can't say enough great things about this shop! Always friendly, always quality, always getting my business! :
