Re: Sale of used instruments

I was thinking more of the perception of contamination. Most people are not well-informed and will have a reaction based on emotion rather than fact. I know otherwise intelligent people who would never consider buying a used instrument because it has been in somebody else's mouth. Logical explanations make no difference, they know what they know.

When I suggested to a student that she could buy a much better mouthpiece than the one she had when our local shop was selling ex-demo's cheap she recoiled with horror at the idea. I asked her if she thought that she was the only person ever to have used the cup she had her next coffee shop latte from.
