Soundgas

Buying, selling & messing about with interesting, rare & classic studio gear, instruments & effects on the edge of the Derbyshire Peak District.

Our approach stems from having broad tastes in music and a fascination in the recording and production techniques - and the instruments and equipment - used to create great recordings past, present and future.

We'd been trading on Ebay for over ten years (most notably as Ainternational), with 100% positive feedback on over 1, 000 transactions. This was initially to satisfy our gassing for old and unusual gear to fill the studio, and latterly to pass on the surplus elements of an extensive collection when we downsized in 2007. What started out as a passion and sideline has evolved into a business with a client list that reflects our commitment to good old-fashioned customer care and attention to detail (and a love of cool, strange and oddball vintage gear).

We find good examples of interesting, rare and classic gear and ensure that our customers receive them in as perfect working order as possible. We appreciate fine, unusual, quirky and well-engineered recording equipment and instruments: that appreciation shines through in everything we do. First and foremost we are musicians, engineers, collectors and customers: we've got G. A. S. * ourselves, and we aim to ensure our customers get sound service for their G. A. S.

We have plans for the future, including sourcing the best new modern and boutique gear inspired by the old stuff we love so much, as well as introducing some new gear of our own (watch this space) in the not too distant future.
