Member bands will be able to save money on their instrument insurance thanks to new partnership link.

New moon
  The Newmoon Harmonic Policy gives benefits to member bands

Brass Bands England (BBE) has launched a new partnership with Newmoon Insurance to help members save on instrument insurance.

It will see members able to get 12 months of musical instrument cover for the price of 11 — not only in the first year of cover, but on every subsequent renewal.

Harmonic Policy

The partnership introduces BBE members to Newmoon's 'Harmonic Policy' which they advise has been designed to meet the needs of musicians at a competitive price. It also provides cover many home policies do not include.

The new discount for individuals compliments BBE's existing partnerships with specialist insurance providers which offer insurance packages and exclusive benefits to its members who are looking to insure the activities and assets of their band as a whole.

Discount code

The policy discount will be available by quoting a code, available to BBE members in their Member Resources Library. The code can be used at www.newmooninsurance.com or via telephone on 01892 280323.

Players with BBE member organisations can activate their membership by registering on the BBE website and linking to their member band.
