Originally called Dewey Music, the Oneida Music Company was once located on Phelps Street in Oneida. Dewey Music had been operated for over 100 years by the Dewey family when William Dobs purchased the store. After operating the business for four years, Mr. Dobs relocated to the corner of Main & Madison Streets, where he continued to operate the store during the 1960's and 1970's. The current owner purchased the business from Mr. Dobs in May of 1979. Four years later the store was relocated to its present location on Route 5 in Oneida. Oneida Music Co. is the longest running business in Oneida with a total of over 135 years in business. Our Mission As a music store our purpose is to meet the musical requirements of all within a diverse community. Our concern is the perpetuation of music participation and performance as a necessary part of our lives and culture. To fulfill these requirements we will provide a complete inventory of musical products and services, offering quality and value while keeping costs and prices low.

The collaborative involvement of a knowledgeable, creative staff is essential. We will be innovative while keeping our fundamental principles intact. An environment which is encouraging and sensitive to the needs and talents of all is a necessity.
