Modern Music is a retail musical instrument store located in the western suburbs of Chicago. We sell, buy, trade and offer consignments on new & used Guitars, Amplifiers, Loudspeakers, Mixers, Brass and Woodwind Instruments. We also offer Musical Instrument Lessons, Repairs and Rentals. We are an independent "mom and pop" shop full of professional players and engineers - not shareholders. Our staff dedicates a lot of our personal time outside the shop to playing and evaluating equipment in the real world. Sometimes one of us is performing right down the street, a couple of employees are often on tour and sometimes even on other continents! With all of our knowledgeable employees being performers and engineers you can assure that we know the stuff we're selling is up to our high standards. Our website is here to help you find the gear you need as well as let people know when we find a product that just knocks our socks off. Always feel free to contact us today with any questions about equipment, lesson schedules, rentals and/or repairs.
