Stemple Music

At Stemple Music, we've been in business since 1974, providing top-notch band instrument repair services. Our shop is equipped with the latest tools, equipment, and technology, ensuring that every instrument is repaired with meticulous attention to detail. Over the years, we've expanded our services to include a rent-to-own instrument program for students, making it more accessible for them to start playing.

Our owner, Tim Stemple, has a deep understanding of instrument repair, having completed his education at Western Iowa Tech in 1973. He began his career in instrument repair after his education and has since honed his skills to become one of the best in the business. With a passion for music, Tim has also had a musical career, playing instruments like the banjo, clarinet, saxophone, string bass, and guitar. He even performs with local bands, including the Jeannette Community Band and the Haus band.

At Stemple Music, we're dedicated to educating our customers on the care and maintenance of their instruments to prevent unnecessary repairs. We stock a wide range of professional and student accessories from renowned brands like Antigua, Vandoren, Yamaha, Rico, Eastman, Rovner, Selmer, Bach, John Packer, and many others.
