A. As one MIMForum member said recently, “There is no dishonor in keeping a day job.” Instrument making can be a tough business to break into, and many people find the transition from hobby to livelyhood just isn’t worth it. We have seen plenty of people fail not because they lack building chops, but because they lack business acumen. For that reason we’ve written a FAQ just for you: The MIMForum Going Full-Time Pro miniFAQ.
