Old House Studio features a large collection of various musical instruments available for client use. (Of course, you’re more than welcome to bring your own, too!) Whether you want to use our well-maintained instruments as your primary sound sources on recordings or you want to use something “different’ for a specific overdub or part, we have instruments that you should find useful.
We have a wide variety of acoustic drums (seven drumkits, twenty-eight snare drums, two large bass drums, six gongs, three conga drums, and various other percussion items), a dozen guitars (acoustic, electric, bass, baritone, and twelve-string), fifteen amplifiers (made between the 1950s and the 21st Century), and ten different keyboard instruments, (including a full-sized Yamaha grand piano and a Hammond C3 organ with Leslie cabinet), all available for client use at no extra charge. (Piano tunings and new drumheads and guitar strings are the responsibility of the client.)
