An Appeal to Owners

If you possess a fine violin, viola, cello or bow that you would consider loaning to a deserving player, speak to us. We will endeavour to match the instrument with a suitable musician, organise the paperwork and, if desired, represent you in all dealings with that musician. The term of the loan will be fixed in a contract, which will amongst other things stipulate the need for the player to cover the cost of insuring and maintaining the instrument. You may choose to have your patronage recognised publicly or remain anonymous.

There is no cost to you for this loan arrangement. On the contrary, you stand to gain in several ways:

• from having the instrument played regularly

• from not having to insure it yourself

• from seeing a likely increase in its value at the end of the loan term.

And you will have the lasting satisfaction that comes from helping musicians progress in their careers; a quality instrument in the hands of a good player can make all the difference between success and failure at auditions, competitions and recitals.
