Music Instrument Swap

The Lansing Music Instrument Swap is a swirl of vendors, musicians, collectors, inventors, investors, store owners and more. Patrons will find new, used, vintage, custom and handmade instruments, amplifiers and accessories for sale and for trade.

Most people carry their gear by hand or with small carts, or they make a lot of trips back to their car. 

Expect to find some smoking deals and meet knowledgeable vendors. It’s a great opportunity to learn techniques or show off your own, or to poke around for parts, repairs, recording services or performance opportunities.

The event is put on by Shawn VanSteeland, who also runs the Music Instrument Swap, a brick-and-mortar shop in Holt. VanSteeland is a major part of the Greater Lansing music community and runs — if we do say so ourselves — one of the best live music calendars in town.
