It's watersoluble, so you can take an instrument apart later if necessary. More important from my perspective is that it dries "hard", and isn't as likely to dampen vibrations as much as some glues which dry "softer". It also tends to suck the joint tighter as it dries, relying less on extreme clamping pressure to get a good joint. Anyway, those are my opinions... :) A couple of reasons to use hide glue.

However, hide glue is somewhat finicky to work with due to it's limitted opening time, need to be kept at a certain temperature, difficulty to apply. Titebond is a decent compromise, but hide glue is best. Actually, the very best glue is generally hide glue or some variant thereof.
