“I’ve been a MusicPro customer for almost eight years now. When I first started out using MusicPro, I was living in a crappy neighborhood in Hollywood, and thought it would be a good idea to insure my music gear. At the time, I only had two guitars, one electric and one acoustic, and a laptop that was insured.

Within six months of having the policy, my laptop took a dive off my desk and the screen was shattered. At the time, the loss of my laptop was catastrophic, and if it wasn’t for MusicPro, I would have been unable to replace it. They handled my claim quickly and without fuss.

Today I have a much larger policy, and I count on MusicPro to insure my recording studio and my gear on the road.”
