Resound: A curated marketplace for pre-loved music gear
A curated Sharetribe marketplace where verified sellers list refurbished instruments, with advanced profiles, price negotiation, and a buying experience built for musicians.
The idea
Resound is a UK-based marketplace for refurbished and pre-loved musical instruments, founded by musicians with expertise in technology, music retail, and sustainability. The pre-loved music market was fragmented: rare finds scattered across classifieds, forums, and local shops with no trust signals. Resound set out to unify it with a curated platform where only verified businesses can create listings.
What we built
We worked closely with the Resound team to develop a feature-rich marketplace with several custom developments.
- Verified listings Only verified businesses can create listings, ensuring products meet high standards of quality
- Advanced user profiles Profiles that can be shared on social platforms, enhancing engagement and visibility
- Price negotiation Users negotiate prices until a deal is accepted and paid
- Enhanced discovery Similar listings, wishlists, trending listings, and browsing history
- Advanced monetization Fees from both customers and providers, plus a flat fee option
- Flexible transactions Sellers choose manual or automatic order acceptance
- Embedded forms Contact and listing submission forms embedded for easy access
The result
Launched fast, without compromising on quality. Resound now connects verified sellers with musicians across the UK and gives instruments that would otherwise gather dust a trusted home. The partnership continues, with new features shipping regularly. See it live at resound.market
