From Chris Vinnicombe, editor of THE GUITAR MAGAZINE:
QUOTE:
| How do we define value for money when it comes to musical instruments? Is it simply all about depreciation when the time comes to flip it and move on? If it is, then a high-end guitar that holds its value - or a vintage piece that appreciates while you own it - might offer better value for money than a more affordable £899 guitar that's worth £400 two years later. Or what about that guitar you coughed up a grand for 10 years ago that's done a few hundred gigs? That's paid for itself many times over by now, surely? |

Thoughts?
I share a guitar with a person, I don't own one. And I don't play it, that'd be disingenuous. I "dabble" with it (but would like to play more).
But I am fairly proficient in keyboard and recorder. Was a bit rusty, but when I played again in recent months - nothing that'll win any awards - the notes came back to me.
My point is, I have never really thought about the musical value of the recorder or keyboard I owned. They were there to enjoy. They were there to allow me to play music. Their value, then or now, never came into my head.
