Instruments in the regions
The instrument collection must not be confused with instruments in the regions acquired with the support of the Finnish Cultural Foundation for the member conservatoires of the Conservatoire Association of Finland. The Finnish Cultural Foundation owns the instruments but the Conservatoire Association of Finland is responsible for lending them.
There is more information on applying for an instrument loan in the regions from the Conservatoire Association of Finland at www.consa.fi.
