On the map, in the app
Find music stores near you.
Bandry's Resources tab maps the music stores around you, live from Apple Maps, for strings, a setup, or a new pedal today. And when you want used gear, the Market is where it changes hands musician to musician. The shop and the scene, one app.
The shop
Stores near you, pulled live.
Tap Stores in the Resources tab and the map fills with the shops around you, directions a tap away. Live from Apple Maps, so it's current and works in any city, for when you need strings before a show or a setup before the session.
What a good shop has
More than a wall of guitars.
A real repair desk
A good shop does setups, fret work, electronics, and restrings. A trustworthy bench is half the reason to have a store you go back to.
Staff who play
People who actually gig can point you to the right pedal, the right strings, the right amp for your room, instead of upselling the display model.
Used, musician to musician
For used gear, skip the stranger. The Market puts you in front of players selling their own rigs, no marketplace fees, the deal made directly.
Used gear, no stranger
Buy and sell with real musicians.
New from a shop, or used from a player in your scene. Bandry's Market is gear changing hands musician to musician, no seller fees, local or shipped. It sits next to the people, studios, and rooms you're already here for.

Finding music stores
How do I find music stores near me?
Open Bandry's Resources tab and tap Stores. It pulls the music stores around you live from Apple Maps, with the address and directions a tap away, so it works in any city without waiting on a curated list. For used gear, the Market is where it changes hands between musicians.
Should I buy from a local shop or online?
A local shop lets you play it before you buy, has a repair desk for setups, and is staffed by people who actually play. Online is wider and often cheaper for known quantities. For anything where feel matters, a guitar, a snare, a cymbal, it's worth walking in. For used gear, buying from a musician in your scene splits the difference.
Do music stores do repairs and setups?
Many do, and a good repair desk is half the reason to have a shop you trust. Setups, fret work, electronics, and restrings live there. If a store doesn't, Bandry's Resources tab also maps dedicated repair shops near you, and the bulletin has techs who do setups directly.
Where's the best place to buy used music gear?
From another musician in your scene. Bandry's Market is a gear marketplace where the seller is a player, a producer, or an engineer, not an anonymous stranger, and there are no seller fees because the deal happens directly between you. Local for pickup, or remote if they'll ship.
Can I sell my gear on Bandry?
Yes. List it on the Market with a few photos, set a price or take a trade, and link up with the buyer to settle it off-platform. You keep the whole sale, no marketplace cut. It sits right next to the people, studios, and rehearsal rooms you're already on Bandry for.
