Luthier workshop insurance: protect your entire business

Our comprehensive professional insurance package is tailored to your business and provides complete protection for all your activities.


  1. For the insured property and contents, excluding instruments:
    Whether you are the owner or a tenant, our solution covers your workshop against the risks of fire, theft and water damage to the walls.
    All contents, excluding instruments, such as your tools, machinery and
    other personal property, are insured under the premises contract to guarantee the continuity of your business. We have added legal protection cover, too.

  2. For the wood, raw materials and tools in your workshop:
    The policy is underwritten by Liberty Speciality Markets, a major player in the art world.
    Under the policy, your wood and other raw materials, as well as the instruments in your workshop, are all insured without distinction, i.e. instruments in the process of being made, those intended for sale or collection, and instruments entrusted for repair, restoration, or resale. These are all covered by comprehensive insurance, including breakage.


Outside your workshop, instruments loaned for sale or event, as well as those shipped or exhibited, are insured against all risks, anywhere in the world. Breach of trust is covered for player assessments.


Are you expecting to receive a valuable instrument at your workshop for temporary hold? If so, we can also insure it at an affordable rate based on the duration, for both workshop use and loaner instruments. Everything is already taken care of. For complete peace of mind, trust our expertise and benefit from customised coverage tailored to your specific needs.
