Doubling Preferences

I do not have access to a doubling instrument, but I would be interested in borrowing one and learning if I am accepted into a TRYPO program. I do not have access to a doubling instrument, and I am not interested or don't have time to learn how to play one, if I am accepted into a TRYPO program.
