Bandstand builds real-scale musical instruments in one click: 103 ready-made designs across 33 kinds, from acoustic and electric guitars to drum kits, grand pianos, violins, harps, trumpets, saxophones and flutes. Pick a design by its picture and the instrument appears, with strings, frets, keys, valves, pads and hardware in place.

Every instrument stays editable. Change the body, neck, pickups, drum sizes, piano lid, trombone slide or finish in the sidebar and the model rebuilds live.

103 instrument designs
Guitars, violins, drum kits, grand pianos, horns and harps. Pick one and it appears in one click.

Surprise me
One click builds a random instrument with a random finish, ready to drop into your scene.

Any finish
Sunburst, metallic, sparkle, see-through, solid, pearl and satin over real wood.

Live sliders
Every setting rebuilds the instrument live, like the trombone slide here.
