I've been contemplating/discussing the challenges of selling 'common' products in a saturated marketplace.
Violins fall into that category. Everyone knows what a violin is.
There are low end (mass produced), middle range, high end (bench made), and what I'd group as luxury instruments (where provenance is everything)...so anyone can find one at any price point to meet their needs/wants.
The internet is great - but it's also overwhelming. If I start looking for something (anything) I find myself in a confusing forest almost immediately. Often times I can't tell what's what.
