Is my harp covered while being moved or shipped?

Yes. Transit is covered worldwide, whether the harp travels in your own vehicle, with a mover, or as freight, subject to policy terms.

Do I need an association membership for the best rate?

No. Ramble has one transparent price for everyone, starting at $175 a year, with no membership tiers or association requirements.

Cracks from knocks, drops, and moves are covered as accidental damage. Ramble's policy doesn't list changes in temperature or humidity as a covered cause, and gradual deterioration isn't covered, so keep the humidifier running.

What does Ramble insurance cover?

Ramble provides worldwide, all-risk coverage for musical instruments and related equipment. You're protected against theft, accidental breakage, fire, lightning, water or flood damage, vandalism, damage caused by vehicles, and even mysterious disappearance, subject to policy terms.

How much does Ramble insurance cost?

Policies start at $175 a year. Above that, the premium scales with your collection's total insured value, the deductible you pick, and the mix of gear, since instruments, computer equipment, and general business property are each rated differently. You'll see your exact number during the application, before you pay anything.

What is the deductible?

The policy has a low $100 minimum deductible per claim (not per item). Flood and Earth Movement have a separate deductible equal to 5% of the item value.

How do I get a quote, and how long does it take?

First you catalog your gear, by uploading photos, typing or talking through what you own, or dropping in a spreadsheet. Then you start an application, pick the items you want covered, and answer a short form. Your quote appears immediately, and you can pay right there. Most applications are approved in one business day or less.

01 THE MOVE

A harp's biggest risk is the drive to the gig.

A concert grand pedal harp is roughly eighty pounds of tensioned spruce and maple holding back about two thousand pounds of string tension, and it travels lying down in a van, over ramps, through doorways measured in fractions of an inch. Most harp losses happen in exactly that window, when a dolly slips, a column takes a knock, or a soundboard meets a stairwell.

Ramble covers the harp in transit, in the venue, at home, and everywhere between, worldwide, including accidental damage from the moves that go wrong.

02 THE VALUES

Five figures on forty-seven strings.

A professional pedal harp from Lyon & Healy, Camac, or Salvi runs well into five figures, and fine examples hold value for decades when cared for. Insure yours at its declared value in your Ramble collection, and when an appraisal or the market moves, update the value and resubmit; only the difference is ever charged. And if a covered loss leads to a repair that leaves the harp worth less than before, diminished value coverage pays the difference, subject to policy terms.

03 NO MEMBERSHIP

One price, no association tiers.

Ramble charges every harpist the same rates, starting at $175 a year with a $100 minimum deductible per claim, and you see the quote immediately during the application. You don't need to join an association. When you compare programs, ask whether the best rate requires a membership.

04 EASY

Covered before the next regulation appointment.

Photograph the harp or describe it, and Ramble's chat uploader identifies it and builds your valued collection, bench, covers, and tuning gear included. Apply straight from the collection with an immediate quote and approval in one business day or less. And if cataloging feels like one more thing to move, our concierge team will do it for you.
