What is the Audiogon of music instruments?

I don't think there is an Audiogon for musical instruments. Musicians usually know and want exactly what they are purchasing and keep those instruments. Audiophiles on the other hand have no idea what they really want. They only know what they think they want. Thus the huger turnover of used gear.

Sounds Real,

We must know different musicians. They're worse than audiophiles on the GAS front. Gear Acquisition Syndrome.

Old joke:

Her Q: Dear, how many guitars do you need?
Him A: Just one more

Awhile back I inquired to the managers of Audiogon asking about a possible sister/brother site that might be called Musigon. Apparently others have also asked.

It would be great to have such a venue for audiophiles and musicians to commiserate, buy and sell gear.

Right now all there is is Harmony Central but the design is nowhere as user friendly as the 'gon.

Speaking as a professional musician, one reason why is that no serious musician is going to buy an instrument online without trying it first. There might be a few exceptions, such as someone buying an older instrument with the idea of fixing it up and reselling it, but by and large professional musicians do not buy instruments online.
