Our story
A marketplace of its own for the world's musical traditions
Trad Market was founded by Blayne Chastain — Irish flute player and founder of Irish Flute Store. For years, Blayne has been an active part of the traditional music world: performing, teaching, working with instrument makers, and most recently stewarding Chiff & Fipple, one of the Irish traditional music community’s most beloved online gathering places.
Through that work, one thing became clear: the instruments that carry the world’s musical traditions need a dedicated marketplace of their own.
Trad Market is that place.
