Reverb

Reverb is an online marketplace founded in 2013 by David Kalt, specializing in the buying and selling of new, used, and vintage musical instruments and related equipment. It connects millions of musicians, collectors, and dealers worldwide, creating a trusted platform inspired by community-driven models like Etsy. Approximately 85% of Reverb's employees are musicians, reinforcing its strong ties to the music community.

Reverb also offers mobile apps for iPhone and Android, a real-time price guide for fair market values, and in-person support in several countries. Additionally, it provides educational content and connects aspiring musicians with experienced instructors through Reverb Lessons. The marketplace features a wide range of products, including instruments, recording equipment, amplifiers, and collectibles, and has hosted sales for notable artists, enhancing its appeal to a diverse user base.
