Re: Insurance

I had a few thoughts since I posted 2 nights ago. From reading your post again, I take it you have already purchased the instrument, and your only issue is the insurance offered.

There have been enough posts of newish R13s cracking on this board (search R13 and cracks or cracked,) that if I had it to do over again, I probably would not buy another new grenadilla R13, at least not until the apparent cracking problem is solved.

The $250 insurance premium could be put toward the difference in cost for a greenline (composite) R13, or the price difference of the similar offerings of Selmer or LeBlanc.

What happens if the first instrument cracks and is replaced, and then the replacement also cracks? Would this policy provide a second replacement?
