I just wanted to mention that I had a road/residence policy from Acuity
Insurance Co. (used to be Heritage). Our auto and home insurance is
combined into one policy (plus my business insurance) and it's a very good
deal. I have a rider for my Buffet R-13 that costs $18 a year extra and it
covers replacement value of the instrument.

Actually, the AFM does *NOT* have better coverage. If you are a member of
Chamber Music America or National Flute Assn., you can get coverage with
Clarion, which last I knew was a bit cheaper than their regular rates. I
don't have any affiliation with Clarion except as a long time customer.
