Introducing Ramble.

For as long as I can remember, every room of mine from childhood to the apartment where I’m writing this note has been packed with gear. To me, instruments fall somewhere between pets, vehicles, and roommates: they’re like family, they keep us company, we confide in them, they take us places, they’re noisy, we cohabitate, and we have a responsibility to take care of them.

Between moves, travel, and gigging it’s always been hard to keep track of my stuff and to tell if my gear has been protected. When I was wrapping up my last job in ad tech, I couldn’t shake a desire to build something better.

Everything starts with collection building. We made the fastest and easiest way to manage your gear. Just add photos or chat with our gear assistant, and AI matches against a proprietary database of 60,000+ instruments. Confirm values, year, condition, and you’re set. A messy room turns into a neatly catalogued collection in seconds. You can further organize into custom folders: by rig, location, instrument type, etc.

Ramble is a fully licensed insurance brokerage in all 50 states, with real policy-writing infrastructure. Once you’ve uploaded your collection, submitting an application for coverage takes just seconds.

Ramble is proudly administered by Bolton Street Programs, a renowned MGA with decades of experience managing music industry-specific programs. All policies are underwritten by Accelerant, a top global carrier with a key emphasis on specialty tech platforms. Our dedicated underwriter Laura has 20+ years of experience covering musical instruments. She thought she mispronounced Moog once at a work dinner and called us in a panic the next day.

Ramble is the simplest and most comprehensive coverage on the market. Our policies start at $175 for over $13,000 in annual protection. We offer full global coverage against all risks: theft, loss, accidental breakage, vandalism, fire, flood, earthquakes and more. We cover anything you might use to make music: all instruments, recording gear, consoles, mics, sound and lighting equipment, cameras, computers, cables and more. There are just a few common exclusions.

When you join Ramble, your profile is set to private by default— we deeply respect and value your discretion. However, we also know that some gear heads love to connect over this shared passion. If that’s you, feel free to make your profile public and choose exactly which gear to share with the Ramble community. You can follow other collectors, search for and bookmark favorite gear, react to what you love, and get notified when others do the same. Ramble is a place for discovering, celebrating and connecting over gear— not for flexing. All gear is great gear. Check out our full Principles for more.

Early into building Ramble, we were so fortunate to get introduced to the team at D’Addario— the top name in strings and accessories, with a storied history of innovating for musicians. From the start, D’Addario shared our vision for how we could make managing and protecting gear easier. Together we built Gear Collection, a white-labeled version of Ramble that lives inside the Players Circle experience. We released Gear Collection in late 2025, allowing the community of 600,000+ Players Circle members to share their collections, get inspired and connect in a whole new way. And now with just a click, users will be able to sync their full collections to Ramble to get the best insurance coverage in the industry. More on our partnership here.
