More people would try playing an instrument if they could borrow one to try it out. I already play several, but I’m running out of money and space for more. It’d also be nice to pop down to the library and check out the one I’m currently obsessing over to see if I want one permanently. Hell, I’d donate ones I hardly ever use to add to the diversity. This wouldn’t replace buying instruments any more than regular libraries ended book stores.
or tools too expensive specialized or cumbersome to actually own.
We have a tool library in Vancouver. I don’t think it’s unique?
wish i had those, sounds awesome!
Aren’t those just tool rental shops? Those are pretty common
Thats a thing in Finnish libraries, quite cool.
