This scheme is available for our young people who are progressing on to learning a new instrument. Musical instruments are not cheap, so the scheme provides a way for a young learner to find out whether they take to playing the instrument before investing in an instrument of their own.

Participants in the scheme pay a small refundable deposit and a contribution to insurance. 

Instruments available for loan under the scheme:

• Flute
• Fiddle
• Button accordion
• Banjo
• Bodhran

For more details, see the instrument lending scheme policy and the loan agreements, available on request.
