Cant you see how someone might value an instrument they repaired (and probably taught themselves how to do that) themselves a lot more than a store bought, flawless replacement?
There is value in doing things yourself, even if you could get always a better result by paying someone professional to do it for you.
It wasn’t replaced, it was repaired. A professional repaired it. If he taught himself how to repair it then he must have done a shit job or it wouldn’t have cost 200$ to repair after he was done.
Another example that maybe makes it clearer coming to mind: warhammer is a massive business, for decades. But why do people like to buy unpainted little plastic models and then do a usually mediocre job themselves painting those, taking forever? They could just buy them fully painted by professionals, that would look obviously much better.
But the enjoyment and emotional attachment comes from doing that yourself. It is your little sci fi army even if their lines are smudged. You look at those figures and remember the hours spent painting them, progressively getting a little better with each. It is the same with the instrument, the husband fixed it up, spent a lot of love and effort on it, learned something in the process. Now thats all gone and instead he has some product.
It also mentions that a professional fixed it up, and the husband was not that professional, so he probably also did a dogshit job at that.
This is projection on your part, calm down

Customization isn’t repair, being unpainted isn’t damage, this example is also stupid
Hey, how about this is as simple as ‘don’t touch my shit without asking’
I fucking hate it when other people try to fix my shit, just tell me it’s broken. I’ll deal with it
They’re married, it’s her shit too
You can’t claim other people are projecting, when you are replying to everyone on this thread.
I can actually, seems like you don’t know what the word means
Oh you’re one of those people.
People that bother knowing what words mean before using them? Yes, and proudly.
No.
A void of personality
If your personality is based on being a fucking moron I think you’d be better off as a void
Do you know what the word “douchebag” means?
I’m familiar with it, yes
As is everyone else here, thanks to you.
Nah some of y’all are barely literate
