To Borrow…
Please send us an email with the subject line “Instrument Borrow Request – ” with the name of the instrument model following the hyphen.
If you’re able, we ask that you make a one time donation when you borrow, suggested donations are listed with each instrument, the amount being what it would cost to rent a similar instrument from L&M for a month.
All donations go to the maintenance and cleaning of instruments, and the administration of this program.
Statuses
- Available: You can inquire about borrowing this instrument today. We’ll arrange a time to meet, give you a quick care lesson, get you to fill out the minimal (but required) paperwork, and then off you’ll go!
- On Loan: This instrument is already in another player’s hands. Sorry, we don’t maintain a waiting list, but do join the newsletter where we keep the community updated on the comings and goings of instruments.
- Permanent Collection: These are instruments that we hold on to for use in our programming. Under special circumstances you might be able to borrow them for a short period of time, like if your own instrument is in the shop and you need something for a gig tonight.

Trumpet and Cornet
King Master Cornet
Status: Available!
This vintage King Master Model cornet was manufactured by the H.N. White Company of Cleveland, Ohio in the late 1920s. Known for its distinctive “underslung” design and warm, mellow tone, the King Master was a popular professional-quality brass instrument during the golden age of American band music. Though showing the wear of many decades of use, this cornet remains a fine example of early 20th-century craftsmanship and musical history.

Break Beats Ludwig Jazz Drum Kit

The Ludwig Breakbeats Drum Set, designed in collaboration with Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, is a compact, gig-ready kit built for portability without giving up the signature Ludwig tone.

The 7-ply hardwood shells offer focused projection and warm tone, making it especially well-suited for practice, small venues, and city-style gigging. Comes with backline and no breakables.
