For over 90 years, John Keal Music has been a cornerstone of the musical community in the Capital District, dedicated to providing exceptional music education and support. As a locally owned and operated family business, we take immense pride in our commitment to helping people of all ages discover the joy of making music. We believe that music has the power to enrich lives, foster creativity, and build lasting memories, and we are passionate about making quality musical instruments and resources accessible to everyone.

Our Services

John Keal Music offers a comprehensive range of services to meet the diverse needs of musicians and music educators. We specialize in instrument rentals, making it easier for students to explore different instruments without the significant financial investment. Our rent-to-own program allows families to gradually acquire ownership of the instrument, ensuring that they can continue to enjoy its benefits even after their child graduates.

We understand the importance of convenient access to musical supplies. That's why we offer an extensive online catalog featuring band, orchestra, percussion, guitar, and keyboard accessories. Whether you need reeds, rosin, straps, or replacement parts, we have you covered. To further simplify the process, we offer a "shop by school" feature that allows you to browse recommended items specifically for your child's music curriculum.

For our school partners, we provide dedicated weekly instrument servicing throughout Upstate New York and Western New England. Our expert technicians ensure that instruments are in optimal playing condition, minimizing downtime and maximizing student learning.

Our technicians undergo rigorous training to ensure that they can provide expert repairs and maintenance services.

We are also dedicated to building strong relationships with our customers. We strive to create a welcoming and knowledgeable environment where music enthusiasts can feel comfortable seeking advice and support. Our friendly staff is always happy to assist with instrument selection, rental inquiries, or any other music-related questions you may have.
