Andante

Andante is a collaborative consumption company for musical instruments. We connect users wishing to rent an instrument with local musicians and instrument owners willing to share them. In essence, Andante is a place where cautiously curious individuals enjoy the musician’s exploring phase before making a purchase. Today music shops say "come to the instruments." Brick & mortar vendors line up to serve a $2.8 billion market already inside the store, yet no one is servicing potential buyers before they decide to buy. Many steps exist before a buyer commits; we aim to be there for those steps. Capturing customers many steps before the market does is paramount; Andante helps you decide what you want to play, foster relationships between like-minded enthusiasts, carry you through the entire process of borrowing an instrument before buying or purchasing extra gear, and assist you in nurturing that passion into something that you'll treasure the rest of your life.
