La Playa: Insurance with Intelligence®

Musical Instrument Owners

If music is your passion or your livelihood, you need to protect what matters – your instruments, by getting a comprehensive musical instrument insurance policy.

Stradivarius, Guarneri, Amati, Steinway, Monteleone - if your musical instrument is lost or damaged, it’s not just the replacement or repair cost that hurts – it’s the lost gigs too. That’s why our comprehensive insurance for musical instruments also provides for the cost of a temporary replacement so the show can go on.

At La Playa, we provide a comprehensive range of musical instrument insurance policies for dealers, musicians, collectors, makers, and repairers.

From violins to fortepianos, musical instruments are works of art and an important part of our cultural heritage. We specialise in insuring instruments owned by individual musicians, orchestras, private collectors, and instrument dealers, including inventory, stock on consignment and on loan. Our international performing arts experience means we understand you well and speak your language.

Our musical instrument insurance clients typically face challenges with:

  • Damage in transit or on tour
  • Instruments being lost or stolen
  • Heat or water damage to varnishes - and then depreciation following a repair

Getting the right musical instrument insurance cover gives you peace of mind - especially if the instrument is on loan or consignment.
