  I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at? How is a library having instruments for people to play different from libraries having books to read?

  No, I assume more people would try if they didn’t have to spend hundreds of dollars to find out.

  Do you mean “can play a musical instrument” as in “knows how to” or “has the potential to”? Obviously not everyone knows how, especially if they don’t own one. But I think basically anyone has the potential. Screwing around with an instrument helps you figure out if if it’s a halfway decent fit, and with the Internet it’s pretty easy to learn enough of the basics to figure out if it’s right for you.

    There are also books on how to play instruments, which is something libraries usually also have
