About Uncle Jon's Music

Welcome to Uncle Jon’s Music!
We are an award-winning, family-owned and operated musical instrument store and service center in Westmont, IL, serving the community since 2004. We provide old-school charm and a friendly atmosphere with modern sensibilities. Visit us for expert knowledge, top-tier customer service, and great prices. As active members of the community, we proudly support local events, schools, churches, sports teams, and more.
Uncle Jon’s Music sells new and used instruments, including ukuleles, guitars, band instruments, and more. We also offer professional repairs.

We provide music lessons with experienced, qualified instructors. Weekly private lessons are the best way to learn an instrument, offering a personalized experience tailored to each student’s needs and goals. Every lesson is different—because every student is unique! Sign up now.
Beyond supporting local events, we host our own, including monthly ukulele circles, student showcases, our annual Restring For Food drive, a customer appreciation hot dog party, holiday events, and more.
