Yeah... thanks for making me paranoid until I close on the new house and get my homeowner's insurance kicking. LOL

I don't think that homeowners insurance will cover your equipment. I was just having this discussion recently with the guitar player in my last band.
If you play out with your gear and make even a dollar at it, I don't think homeowners will touch it.

The guitar player told me about some company that covers his musical gear for something like $200 a year. Vivaldi? Something like that. Anyway, I'm open to correction, but I wouldn't count on that homeowners unless you just play at home.

I'd ask them.

I got my musical equipment added to my homeowners' insurance. They had a column for up to $5000 of "computer equipment" and I asked them if, since we didn't own a computer at the time, I could have that coverage applied to "musical equipment." And they said OK. This was State Farm, by the way. Of course, we have a computer now..

A very good friend of mine had a 5-str Music Man Stingray stolen out of his truck at a gig, and his homeowner's insurance covered it. I'm not as worried about "away from home" coverage as I am about fire, theft, etc. I used to rent a house with my old band's keyboard player at the time, and we had a renter's insurance policy to cover $15,000 worth of musical equipment (Fire, flood, theft OK, but volcanic eruptions are NOT covered. LOL) for only a couple hundred bucks a year if I remember correctly.
