This is a serious problem for almost all instruments. I paid �40 for my
viola which had been used by a second year music college student. The
sort of instrument that a good school leaver would have, but not good
enough to use when embarking on a professional career. That is still the
role for which it is suited, but how many good school leavers could
afford to buy it off me at its present value well into 4 decimal figures
of ukp? Fairly recently, I spent more than ten times the original cost
of the instrument on a bow and several hundred on a case. (Mind you, a
good bow can often cost more than the extremely valuable instrument it
plays).
