Musical Instrument Bank

The Canada Council for the Arts Musical Instrument Bank was created in 1985 to acquire quality stringed instruments to be loaned to established or gifted young musicians who are about to embark on an international solo or chamber music career. The musicians who receive these instruments on loan play them publicly in concerts the world over and in recordings.
