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.
If I look at how people handle CDs and Blu-Rays in our library I don’t think it’s a good idea. In theory yes, but people can’t have nice things
I’s just having dreams. You’re right, though, most likely.
