Vashon Musical Instrument Library
Since 2015, Vashon Events has been very pleased to offer a free music instrument library so that everyone can have a chance to learn to play a musical instrument! Borrow an instrument for up to three months. Scroll down to the available instruments and fill out the reserve form HERE. You must be a Vashon Island resident to borrow any of these instruments, and the item MUST stay on Vashon. We ask that you gently treat each instrument as if it were your own!
WE’VE MOVED THE INSTRUMENT LIBRARY RIGHT NEXT TO THE TOOL LIBRARY AT OPEN SPACE FOR ARTS & COMMUNITY! WE ARE SO HAPPY TO BE NEIGHBORS WITH THE FINE FOLKS AT THE TOOL LIBRARY!
The pickup/dropoff spot is next to Open Space for Arts & Community at 18870 103rd Ave SW, Vashon, WA 98070. Follow the signs to the Tool Library. Pull up to the loading dock door on the NE side of the O2 building, and we will help you.
You are now able to pick up and drop off instruments at this new location on the following days:
Wednesdays from 4 pm - 5 pm
Saturdays from 11 am - 12 pm
Please arrive within the one-hour window; we will only be there to check in and out instruments for the one-hour designated.
When you are ready to return your instrument, please email us at vashonevents@gmail.com to coordinate the return.
Vashon Events is extremely fortunate to have Ruben Arnot coordinating all incoming and outgoing instruments in the Vashon Events Music Instrument Library. Ruben is pretty awesome!
