I never said anything about money, it is simply supply and demand. You need to live somewhere there are a lot of professional musicians who beat up their non-disposable instruments. There has to be enough demand and profit for someone to take you on as an apprentice.
There's a lot more disposable instruments than heirloom-quality instruments that are worth repairing.
