Band Supplies

A Note from The Music Shoppe:

Since 1961, our family-owned business has partnered with music educators across Illinois in order to provide support for their school band & orchestra programs.

That support includes top-quality instruments rentals, repair, and an in-stock selection of all the accessories and print music students need.

We even offer free delivery to any school in our service area! Just select "Deliver to School" as your shipping method during checkout!

Instrument Rentals:

If you would like to get started with an instrument rental- or simply want more information- please visit our Instrument Rental page. All accessory preferences shown below can be selected as add-ons as you rent your instrument.
