Since 1986, an Uncle you can trust.
For 40 years, Uncle Ike's has served all the good nieces and nephews of the Tri-State area with their musical needs.
Four decades of keeping Dubuque playing.
Uncle Ike's opened in 1986 with a simple idea: be a real, full-service music store. Today we're on the banks of the Mississippi in Dubuque, Iowa, with 10,000 square feet of well-stocked showroom — one of the largest selections of new and used guitars, amps, drums and sound gear in the area.
Our service department is second to none. Every instrument gets checked and set up for best playability, our amp service is top-notch, and we keep a wide selection of parts on hand.
We've been selling online since 1995 too, with same or next-day shipping — so wherever you are, your Uncle's got you covered. If you're ever in the area, come visit.
