Reverb launched in 2013 as an online marketplace built for musicians by musicians. David Kalt—a former recording engineer turned tech entrepreneur—came up with the idea for Reverb shortly after purchasing a renowned Chicago guitar store and growing frustrated with the experience of buying and selling guitars online. In 2019, Reverb became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Etsy—the global marketplace for unique and creative goods—and continues to operate as a standalone company.
Reverb is the largest online marketplace dedicated to buying and selling new, used, and vintage musical instruments and gear. A portion of each sale on Reverbgoes to Reverb Gives, which provides youth music programs all over the world with the instruments they need to make music.
