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.

An absolute gem in Platteville. They have everything a musician needs. Plus a fantastic repair person. And an adorable venue. The area is super lucky to have this music store.

I ordered a piano book, clarinet swab, and cork grease. The owner was polite and knowledgeable over the phone. Despite the pandemic, everything arrived in a timely manner and in perfect condition.

I have been going here for years. Tim is the only guy I go to for repairs or setups. Blue Note is the first store I go to when purchasing a new or used guitar. Always an excellent selection. I've found some really good gems here.

Just recently had some work done, couldn't believe how good of a job the shop did on repairing my guitar! The BEST music shop I've ever been to!

Love Blue Note! Repairs are affordable, and quick! The supplies we needed for my daughter's sax were super affordable too! I HIGHLY suggest going to Blue Note first.

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! :
