🎶 Fast-Track Your Instrument Quote Requests
We’ve introduced two major enhancements that make submitting quotes faster, easier, and more secure—no photos or documents required in most cases. You’ll often receive real-time confirmation, and if underwriting review is needed (less than 35% of cases), it’s typically completed the same day.
✅ Condition Confirmation – No Photos Required
What does “Condition Confirmation” mean?
By submitting your quote request, you confirm that all listed instruments and equipment are in proper working condition with no unrepaired damage or pre-existing issues before coverage begins.
Are there any exceptions?
Yes. Unique instruments or replacement values that exceed certain thresholds may require additional underwriting review.
🎼 Ownership or Permitted Use – No Documentation Needed
Do I need to prove ownership?
Not usually. You declare, under penalty of perjury, that you are the rightful owner or have approved use of the instruments listed.
When might documentation be required?
As with condition confirmation, unique instrument types or unusually high replacement values may trigger a review.

Establishing Ownership & Insurable Interest
Before we can issue a policy, we need reasonable confirmation that you have an insurable interest in the instrument—essentially, that you own it or have a financial stake in it. This helps ensure coverage is valid and protects all policyholders from unnecessary risk.
In most cases, we simply ask applicants to certify ownership or permitted use during the quote process. Formal documentation is rarely required, but when needed, acceptable forms include:
- Bill of sale or appraisal in your name
- Affidavit of ownership
- Legal documents for inherited or gifted items
- Any other reasonable proof of provenance
Occasionally, we may request additional documentation for instruments with unusually high valuations or complex histories. This helps us maintain fair and accurate coverage for everyone.
For full policy language, please refer to our Coverage Form. If you have questions or need guidance, we’re always here to help.
We rely on email delivery for 99% of our communications and policy deliveries. In the chance that you have not received a quote or your policy renewal or invoice, please refer to your SPAM or JUNK MAIL filter to see if there are any emails from service@anderson-group.com.
- If mail from us has been snagged by your spam or junk mail filter, please add service@anderson-group.com and sales@anderson-group,com to your contacts. This will guarantee an orderly flow of email from our office to your email.
We get this question a lot—and for good reason. Understanding how your coverage is structured is one of the most important ways to distinguish Anderson from the competition. Here's a clear breakdown of the coverage types we offer and how they compare to standard industry practices.
Actual Cash Value (ACV):
Actual Cash Value coverage is something we recommend avoiding whenever possible. Commonly found in homeowners and commercial property policies, ACV clauses can result in a depreciated settlement if your instrument is insured for less than 80%, 90%, or even 100% of its replacement cost. The industry-standard definition of ACV is:
The cost to replace your instrument with a new one of similar kind and quality, minus depreciation.
In practice, this means that if your instrument’s insured value isn’t kept current—typically between 80% and 100% of its replacement cost—you could receive significantly less than expected in the event of a claim. The good news: most musical instrument policies, including those issued by Anderson Musical Instrument Insurance Solutions, LLC, do not include ACV clauses.
Replacement Cost:
Replacement Cost coverage pays the full cost to replace your instrument with a new one of similar kind and quality, without deducting for depreciation. While this is a step up from ACV, it still requires ongoing valuation updates to ensure adequate coverage.
Stated Value:
With Stated Value coverage, you and the insurance company agree in advance on the value of your instrument(s) and accessories. In the event of a covered loss, the insurer will pay up to the stated amount—whether for repairs or full replacement due to theft, loss, or irreparable damage.
How is the stated value determined? For instruments currently in production, we typically accept the current-year replacement cost. For others, we may request an appraisal. Either way, we’ll let you know upfront if an appraisal is needed. In fact, 100% of our policies utilize the Stated Value clause—because it offers clarity, fairness, and peace of mind.
Diminished Value:
Our Signature Musical Instrument Coverage Form also includes protection against diminished value. If your instrument suffers a covered loss that reduces its market value—even after repairs—we’ll cover that reduction, up to the stated value limit.
For full details, please refer to your policy documents. And if you have questions about these coverage types or how Anderson sets itself apart, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help.
Most insurance agencies earn revenue through commissions from the insurance company, based on a percentage of your premium. Because our rates are intentionally low, those commissions alone don’t fully cover the cost of servicing your policy—including payroll and administrative support.
To avoid raising premiums across the board, we’ve implemented a modest $25 annual policy fee more than 20 years ago. This fee helps us maintain the high level of service you expect—without compromising affordability.
In fact, when compared to other agencies offering musical instrument insurance, our total cost (minimum premium + policy fee) remains significantly lower. Fees like this have become standard across both insurance and other service-based industries. But in our case, it’s designed to protect your bottom line.
Don’t just take our word for it—ask your colleagues or reach out to us directly. We’re happy to share information about other agencies so you can compare for yourself.
Policy Cancellation and Refund Terms
You may cancel your policy and receive a full refund of your premium—excluding the policy fee, which is always considered fully earned—by notifying us in writing within 30 days of receiving your certificate declarations page.
If you choose to cancel your policy after the initial 30-day period, you will receive a pro rata refund of the unused, unearned premium. Simply notify us in writing to initiate the cancellation process.
Once your cancellation request is received and approved, we will issue your refund within five business days. Refunds are processed either by mailing a check to your most recent insured address on file or, if applicable, by issuing a credit to the card we have on record.
