Come in and check out these great special gift ideas!

Why shop at Uncle Jon’s Music? We are local musicians. We work hard to earn the trust and confidence of our customers. We live, work, and shop in Westmont and support our local community. We help out the schools, churches, lions club, Knights of Columbus, park district, and the Village of Westmont itself.  We set-up and inspect all instruments before putting them up for sale. Often times guitars need quite a bit of work to be put in optimal playing condition. This is a huge added value from what most big box stores give you. We also want to help you in your musical journey. From getting the right instrument for you, to helping maintian and repair your instrument, to your musical education, we will be there for you every step of the way.  We offer quality instruments that are priced right!   We also enjoy doing business with local, independently owned and operated businesses like ours.
