I'm planning on travelling from the US to the Mediterannean (Italy, France, North Africa)
with a large wind/brass ensemble next spring. The group is being sponsored by one of the
local colleges, so the I should be covered by their blanket health insurance policy.  
They did recommend that I go out and get an insurance policy for the two horns I plan
on bringing (one upright tuba, one sousaphone). I've talked to the people who underwrite 
my home insurance policy, and they said they could add a special rider  for the horns,
but only if I was  travelling within the US. Anyone have suggestions on insurance companies to go through for this trip? 
Thanks is advance....
PS: If I'm unable to get "adequate" insurance for the horns, 
    I was planning on going back to the director and insisting
    that I use their (college owned) horns for the trip.
