AGEHR Insurance Coverage for Massed Ringing Events
All bells that we take in loan for classroom use and repertoire readings are
covered by a national AGEHR insurance policy. This means that if something goes
awry in a classroom with a bell, and it can be proven that "we did it," the
policy will cover the loss of ringing equipment.
HOWEVER, this policy does NOT apply to sets of bells in the massed ringing arena.
This is where each church, school, or individual must carry what is called "marine"
insurance on these instruments. This term refers to the fact that you will be traveling
with your bells and chimes, and they will not be housed in your school, church, or home.
Finding "Marine" Insurance Coverage for Your Instruments
A "Google" search on "musical instrument insurance" brings up many web resources,
but as of 5/1/2010, the first four listings were:
Clarion Associates, Inc.
The Music Teachers National Association announced that Clarion Associates, Inc. will
now provide music instrument insurance to all MTNA member for 40% off their usual premiums. For details
contact 1-800-Vivaldi. [Note:This is not an endorsement by Area II.]

Anderson Insurance
Music Agency, Inc.
