I don't know about the flute market, but professional level saxophones hold their value pretty well relative to inflation and not a whole lot more. For like, basically one model (Selmer Mark VI) you might make a profit over that in the course of decades depending. Probably not on an alto, maybe on a tenor, and almost definitely on a bari, but only one with low A. But you've also eaten all of that profit getting it repadded and resprung durning your ownership in order to keep it playable.

I wouldn't consider instruments like that to be an investment. They're something to play.

Perhaps when you're getting into Stratovarius territory you're essential talking about an art and museum piece so all bets are off.

its not gonna beat the US equities market but most well maintained above-student-grade musical instruments hold value well and appreciate in nominal terms over time.

chuck pulls in like ten mil a year in base pay from TNT right now after making like 40 million in his NBA career so i think hes gonna be ok

If he was losing a mill a weekend in Vegas, that's gonna add up fast. Gambling leaks scale up and up, until you are broke no matter how much you earn.

I'm laughing that his "friends" have talked him into starting to gamble again (aka taking them back to Vegas on crazy rear end trips), and just setting his limits back at a couple hundred K instead of a million. That ain't gonna work too long, and drat, he was out, quit for 2 years.

but if a large part of the price is getting a bespoke one custom made for your own preferences and hand measurements then that value (unlike the general materials, craftsmanship etc) is not gonna be especially resellable

Unlike mobile games though, you can't just combine three of them for a higher quality one.

Nice DraftKings logo in the top corner there. They're getting good value for the sponsorship.

It's called a "fingering chord" when you press more than one key at the same time on a wind instrument. As opposed to a string or multi-instrument chord where you have multiple sound sources that combine to form a new sound.

Y’all are driving me crazy. If you are performing the music, you don’t get a PhD. You get a Doctorate of Musical Arts or DMA. The only people who get music PhDs are music theory, music history, and musicology.

To the person who asserted that classical music is some sort of pure merit, judged on their skill and skill alone, I say LOL and enjoy just the most recent horrifying scandal. https://www.vulture.com/article/new-york-philharmonic-sexual-assault-scandal.html How many of your jobs have a performance review rating for “Takes a casual rape like a champ”

Didn’t Barkley explicitly say a few years back that he did Taco Bell and nestle Crunch commercials to pay off gambling losses, and that it’s not a gambling problem if you can afford it?

I dunno if that’s GWM or BWM. Certainly not optimal, but also not wrong?

My sister got her Master's in Vocal performance.

She eventually ended up as a secretary at a music conservatory (and then after 10 years became middle management there.)

There are not a lot of jobs out there for that.

It was LanceHunter, but I will give you that I am particularly sensitive to that argument.

When younger people ask me what they need to do to get a foothold in classical music, I tell them that the most important thing is that someone else pay all of your bills for about 10 years after finishing your masters. Not only because you will not make money, but because having a day job or being seen to do things like take public transit instead of driving or taking cabs will actively hurt the image that you need to cultivate of being a “true artist who’s not in it for the money”. Of course, this is only possible if you already have money.
