ABOUT THE NATIONAL INSTRUMENT BANK

The MCA National Instrument Bank will acquire
by loan or gift, fine musical instruments for loan to Australia's finest
players, whether they are young virtuosi beginning their careers or musicians
already leading Australia's orchestras and ensembles. The Bank is intended to
address the problem that fine instruments, especially string instruments, have
escalated in price to the point that musicians cannot afford to buy them. In
many foreign countries, wealthy individuals and corporations purchase these instruments
and loan them to their countries' best players. Only a handful of Australian
players are so fortunate and there has been no systematic attempt to address
the problem. The Instrument Bank hopes to combat this disadvantage by bringing
fine instruments to Australia and providing them to our musicians.
