Hi SecondTry,

It's a really good thought, but I think clarinet are a particularly difficult case for this.

I mean they are so tricky, in so many ways. They are highly inconsistent even between two copies of a single model of instrument. They are also easily damaged, unhygienic to share, and expensive to insure in the post. The experience of playing them is highly subjective and individual to the player. They also cost a ton of money.

It seems like a major minefield to try to figure it out.

I'm not sure it's just clarinets though.

I'm selling an expensive camera lens at the moment, and that is very similar, because people are wary of spending a lot of money when they're just not quite sure what they are getting. I know the lens is great, and the price is a steal, but reassuring people online is hard.

The direct effect is that I will get a low price for the lens, and I suppose that's how it would be for clarinets. A lot of money would be used in the process of selling, if the person can't just come to the shop, so it lowers the price.

Jen
