Nice story out of Atlanta. A young man and his family lost everything in a fire yesterday morning. Out of everything he lost, he said that he wished that he could have saved his clarinet. He was given a new Buffet clarinet today. News report here. http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/story/24098948/clarinet-donated-to-boy

After the devastating bush fires which ravaged South-eastern Australia in February 2009 the Australian Music Council in conjunction with the Dandenong Ranges Music Council set up project "Resound". The object of this project was to supply people who had lost instruments in the fires with replacements as close in quality as possible to the instruments they lost. In many cases the replacement instruments were appreciably better.
Instruments were initially sourced from private donations, but the project scored some government funding and instruments were also purchased as required. The Australian music industry was extremely generous in this regard, and allowed the project to obtain quality instruments at landed cost. Several hundred instruments were delivered over a 2 year period. Most instruments were provided fairly quickly, but some which proved hard to source took a bit longer.
The project was run entirely by volunteers apart from the coordinator, a senior music academic employed by the Australian Music Council.
