About Us

At TC3 Music Supply, we’re passionate about bringing the joy of music to Metropolis, IL, and surrounding communities. Founded by lifelong musician and educator John Windings, our store is more than just a music shop—it’s a hub for creativity, education, and connection.

With over 70 years of combined experience in music education and instrument repair, our team is dedicated to providing exceptional service. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a beginner, we’ve got you covered with a wide range of new and used musical instruments, including guitars, basses, band instruments, keyboards, drums, and more. Need accessories like strings, amps, or music books? We’ve got those, too!

At TC3, we believe music is a vital part of every community. That’s why we offer top-tier music lessons from expert instructors specializing in brass, woodwinds, percussion, strings, keyboards, and more. Our in-store stage is perfect for recitals and mini-concerts, while our on-site recording studio helps musicians explore music production.

Our commitment doesn’t stop at sales—we also offer professional instrument repairs by Jon Hiller, a renowned repair expert and guitar luthier in Southern Illinois. If we don’t have what you need in stock, we’ll help locate it and deliver it to the store.

Named after John’s children—Tessa, Christopher, Caleb, and Connor—TC3 Music Supply is built on family values and a commitment to service. Whether you’re looking to purchase, rent, repair, or learn, we’re here to support your musical journey every step of the way.
