Draft:Brand New Band

Brand New Band
Brand New Band is an American refurbished and recycled musical instrument hobby shop. It is the smallest of it's kind in the United States with only one location. It is currently located in Laramie, Wyoming.

History
The shop was started in Laramie in 2022 by Michael Lang, formerly of Rockford, Il. A church musician himself, Brand New Band was the result of Lang's musical and repair interests. It was his desire to refurbish or repair those instruments others were done with and provide an inexpensive way for others to develop their musical talent. Some of the first instruments were guitars in the shop. Brands offered were Fender, Yamaha, Crate and Kustom. Later in 2023, more brass instruments were part of the offerings of the small shop, like Bach, Holton, Conn and Yamaha. Customers were not only from Laramie but traveled from towns such as Douglas, Cheyenne and Wheatland in Wyoming as well as Fort Collins, Colorado to visit the shop. 2023 also introduced the Instrument Finder service to Brand New Band. Requesting a search for a specific type, brand and price range of instrument was now available through the shop email address.
