Gear4music is a York, UK–based musical instrument retailer and own-brand manufacturer founded by Andrew Wass, who launched the e-commerce platform in 2003 after operating a recording studio and supplying computer-based recording systems in the late 1990s. The company began producing its own products in 2007, starting with cases and stands before expanding into a full lineup of proprietary instruments and equipment.

Its in-house brand portfolio spans most instrument categories: SubZero (PA speakers, mixers, studio monitors, effects pedals), Hartwood (acoustic and electric guitars), Archer (orchestral strings including violins, violas and cellos), Coppergate (brass such as trumpets, cornets and trombones), Rosedale (woodwinds including flutes, clarinets and saxophones), Playlite (lightweight student brass and woodwind), and G4M (a step-up line aimed at intermediate and semi-professional players). The core Gear4music label covers entry-level instruments and accessories.

The company also owns Premier Percussion, a British drum manufacturer founded in 1922, and Eden Electronics, a bass amplification brand previously owned by Marshall. Gear4music operates a large showroom in the Clifton area of York alongside distribution centers and regional showrooms across Europe, and is generally positioned toward budget-conscious players, beginners, and schools rather than the boutique or high-end market.

Gear4Music has 51 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Electric Basses, Solid Body Electric Guitars, and Tools. Their gear is featured by 8 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Metal, and Pop. Notable users include Bailey Walker, Gustav Larsson, and Bradley Hall.
