To be fair, all of the things you have mentioned have been tried many times but high end violin making always goes back to traditional techniques. Whether it's for prestige or sound, who knows?

Why don't you try it? (And then you'll understand why it's done the way it is)

It will not affect the resale value at all, as fingerboards are nonetheless parts of the instrument that get changed over time anyways. When they get some use over them, they get removed and replaced. It’s a very common and simple process. So if someone doesn’t want that fingerboard, it can simply be changed for another one. Even though the question is rhetorical, the reason why not using something like aluminium is very simple. It’d affect the sound of instrument massively. That’s why I’m looking that these alternatives to ebony are also made out of wood, and if you reach to the end of the video you’ll see that one of the reasons that I’m giving on why I don’t think I’ll use it is exactly that one, the sound (even if it’s better for my allergies and all that). So to summarise it. No, it won’t affect the resale value. The instrument is made out of wood (same wood that has always been used). The alternative fingerboard is also wood based. Thanks for your comment though, as I said at the end of the video I’m really interested in knowing what people think of these alternatives, if they’d buy an instrument with any of them and so on. So your answer is a very honest one and certainly representative of what a lot of people might think.
