High-quality string instruments have experienced a consistently high appreciation in value over the past decades, making them extremely attractive for investors and collectors. However, this renders them unaffordable for musicians. Renting such valuable instruments is therefore logical, as it ensures these instruments maintain their true artistic purpose, providing deserving musicians the opportunity to play old, valuable instruments. This can indeed make a crucial difference in a musician's career.
