More people would try playing an instrument if they could borrow one to try it out. I already play several, but I’m running out of money and space for more. It’d also be nice to pop down to the library and check out the one I’m currently obsessing over to see if I want one permanently. Hell, I’d donate ones I hardly ever use to add to the diversity. This wouldn’t replace buying instruments any more than regular libraries ended book stores.

    I like the idea, however there are some differencea between books and musical instruments. Hygiene is a problem with all woodwind instruments. Strings, sticks, cymbals, cables brake and need to be replaced regularly. Also a whole ass drumset is huge compared to a book. But there are rehearsal rooms that you can rent that also rent out instruments. It is expensive though.
