INSTRUMENTS
AND GEAR
From vintage drums and jangly guitars to flutes, synths, tiny percussion, and mysterious things that make excellent noises, Queen Jane is stocked for curious musicians, teachers, performers, and sound-makers of all kinds.
A studio full of useful tools, beautiful sounds, and a healthy amount of controlled chaos.
Availability may vary by booking, so feel free to ask if there’s something specific you’re hoping to use.
INSTRUMENTS 🎷
Queen Jane’s instrument collection includes drums, guitars, strings, winds, mallet instruments, percussion, and a few wonderfully specific oddballs. Some are vintage, some are practical, and some are just plain fun to play. A little bit classical, a little bit garage band, a little bit “wait, what does this do?”
