Tips to Choose Adequate String Instrument Insurance

“Why do I need insurance for my string instruments?” This is one of the most common things that we hear from musicians. But like all other types of insurance that protects you against the risk, string instrument insurance is also a must have for any professional or amateur musician. As a musician you know how vulnerable your string instrument is and even the slightest damage can permanently damage the instruments which call for expensive repairs. Irrespective of the value of your musical instrument and how frequently you play in concerts and events, you should always insure the instruments to avoid costly repairs and hassle-free schedules. This kind of insurance also protectsyou against all liabilities. Before you go out shopping for string instrument insurance here are few tips that would help you make the perfect choice.

# Choose A Reputable Insurer
   
Gone are the days when for your string or any other kind of insurance you would go to just any other insurance company. Today there are a handful companies that are dedicated to music industry and offer you comprehensive coverage on your musical instruments as well all other liabilities. The USP of these companies is the fact that they have created plans keeping in mind the vital aspects of the music industry. The terms and conditions of the plans have been simplified to make sense to the musicians.  However make sure you have done a thorough background check of the company and taken note of the reputation they enjoy in the market. A little bit of Google search would ease your selection process.

# Term of Insurance
   
This is another thing that you must keep in mind while choosing insurance for your string instruments. Ideally it is advisable that you opt for a complete insurance cover that is renewed annually. If you want to save money you can choose a policy term that would suit your needs. For example if you are planning to attend multiple concerts in the coming month, you can opt for an insurance term for that period. This takes care of all the risks and vulnerabilities associated with travelling and performing during your events.

# Recording Studio Insurance
   
While most musicians buy insurance for their musical instrument they often overlook the importance of insuring their studios. You may have a small studio in your home, but it is advisable that you insure it. This will protect you against all kinds of third-party lawsuits involving your studio that can arise from physical injury or property damage that can occur at the location of your studio. Along with the liability, this kind of insurance plan would also protect equipment breakdown and even the property where the recording studio is housed. You will be able to lay claims for any repair and replacement for your equipment and accessories.

These three things kept in mind will let you choose an adequate insurance plan for your string instruments from a reputable insurer and prevent financial losses in case of any unfortunate events.
