Re: Sale of used instruments

I think the thing that will be hard is testing instruments in shops. Ideally to buy an instrument you want to test it.

However, with COVID, what you probably want is to quarantine the instrument for a couple of weeks to be sure that the virus particles from other previous players have degraded.

If someone is happy to buy a secondhand instrument untested, then they are fine, as they can leave it to one side in their house for a couple of weeks before playing it. However, if they want to test it before buying then that is a bigger problem.

I don't think that taking along a safe mp from home would be enough to be sure of not catching a bug from and instrument that someone else had tested.

So I kind of see your point, yes.

But offering a much longer home testing period might be enough to get round the problem. This would work in cases where the testing really matters, and the economic stakes are high (which is relative, depending on the means of the buyer and seller).
