Whether you're buying your first guitar, upgrading to a pro setup, or need a repair done right the first time, Muddy River Music gives you expert guidance and gear that actually fits your sound.
From your first lesson to your final gig, we're the shop musicians trust in Keokuk.
Guitars, basses, drums, keyboards, wind instruments, and accessories — from beginner to professional grade. We stock the brands that matter and help you find the one that sounds right.
String changes, intonation, neck adjustments, electronics work, and full restorations. Your instrument deserves a proper setup — not a rushed fix. We do it right.
One-on-one instruction for guitar, bass, drums, and voice. All ages, all levels. Whether you want to play your first chord or prep for an audition, we'll meet you where you are.
Cases, straps, picks, cables, pedals, amplifiers, sheet music, and everything in between. If it belongs in a musician's kit, we probably carry it.
Can't find what you're looking for? We'll source it — special-order guitars, rare parts, discontinued gear. Tell us what you need and we'll track it down.
Need to know what your vintage guitar is worth, or looking to sell on consignment? We provide honest appraisals and handle the details so you don't have to.
Muddy River Music isn't a big-box warehouse or an online marketplace. It's a real storefront on 4th Street in Keokuk, staffed by people who play, repair, and live music — not just sell it.
When you walk in, you'll find instruments you can actually try before you buy, repair work done with patience and precision, and advice that isn't designed to upsell you. That's the standard we set for ourselves, and it's the reason musicians keep coming back.
Stop guessing online and come see what we have in person. We'll help you find exactly what you need, or get your current instrument tuned up and ready to go.
We're right on 4th Street — easy to find, easy to park, and always happy to see a new face.
