As a musician, I wouldn’t trust ANYONE to touch my instrument - especially a professional-grade one. Professional-grade violins can run $10,000-$20,000.

That’s a Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra version. A REALLY GOOD one can be $50,000. Obviously, Stradivari can go for millions of dollars.

Same here. I have a professional Haynes flute. Stays WITH ME at all times when I fly with it.

You could easily add a zero to the end of those prices and not be at all off the mark.

I bought my boy a Buffet R-13 for Concert Band and Wind Ensemble.
