Gear

The gear doesn’t matter, but if you’re considering hiring me as a player for your live show or record, here are the instruments and tools I have at my immediate disposal. Instruments with asterisks (*) are not available for offsite/road use.

I also rent instruments. Those available for rent are indicated with daggers (†). Contact me for more info.
