[NewMusic] NewMusic Digest, Vol 7, Issue 24

[Michael Cooke]

Music Union has a instrument insurance program and you might check with you 
car insurance company if it does more then car insurance. They tend to give 
breaks for for multiple policies. I use State Farm and have a special 
instrument policy with them. I have not had to use it, knock on wood.
