Analyst Review
For professionals, a musical instrument is often expensive and need to be insured. The musical instrument insurance is particularly suitable for professional musicians and persons using an instrument as part of their activity. A musical instrument insurance includes different covers. The most common are related to damage, fire, theft, deterioration and water damage. A professional liability cover and a contract cancellation due to the work instrument damage may be included. Other covers may be extended to the contract based on the needs of the underwriter. For amateur musicians wishing to insure their instrument, a cover can be found in certain homeowner's insurance contracts. Indeed, in this particular case, the musical instrument is part of the transferable capital. It is thus covered in the event of theft, fire or water damage. This contract does not cover losses taking place outside the residence site. Thus, the underwriting of a theft and breakage policy is highly recommended if the owner may be required to carry out trips.
Furthermore, major companies have launched their musical insurance programs due to rising demand for the policy insurance. For instance, in 2021, Great American Alternative Markets announced its newest national program, offered in conjunction with Heritage Insurance Services, located in Feasterville, Pennsylvania.
