Musical Instrument Property Protection and Security

SNAGG's unique secure registry enables owners of musical instruments with SNAGG enabled microchip technology to enjoy theft deterrent protection, enhanced property recovery (should your musical instrument be lost or stolen), protection of provenance (necessary to prove authenticity when assets are sold or traded), and discounted musical instrument insurance rates.

The SNAGG Advantage
Musical instruments and other valuable musical assets enabled with SNAGG protection gain a built-in deterrence against theft, loss, and fraudulent reproduction. SNAGG's statistics show that on average, less than 1 SNAGG-equipped instrument in 100 is stolen, thanks to the theft deterrence provided by the SNAGG technology. Over 1 in 3 SNAGG-equipped stolen instrument is finally recovered, the best recovery rate in the industry by far. Instruments not equipped with a SNAGG Microchip are very seldom if ever recovered.

SNAGG provides its manufacturing and retail partners with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, called SNAGG Microchips. SNAGG's technology is flexible, and adaptable to many musical instrument and other valuable asset form factors - including antique and valuable artwork (e.g. furniture, treasured ecclesiastical items, high-end snowboards and skis, and so on.

When a customer purchases a SNAGG-enabled musical instrument or other asset, he or she registers the instrument at the SNAGG website for free - it's that simple.

SNAGG Retrofit Kit
Musical instrument and other asset owners without SNAGG protection may purchase a SNAGG retrofit kit that can be installed by a music instrument repair shop, instrument builder, or an antiques specialist. The SNAGG retrofit is a simple operation that will not alter the value, appearance, or quality of your musical instrument or valuable asset in any way - as the SNAGG Microchip is embedded inside your musical instrument or other valuable asset. A modest fee will be charged by your repair technician to install the SNAGG Microchip.

SNAGG Makes Ownership Management Easy
Owners of SNAGG-enabled instruments are able to access their musical assets on SNAGG's secure website. Changes to customer data in the SNAGG database may only be made by registered customers.

SNAGG Protects Your Privacy
Law Enforcement officials are able to access a special section of the SNAGG website to recover details about reported stolen assets ONLY at the request of a registered SNAGG customer. No other access to the SNAGG database is allowed, under any circumstances, unless data is legally sub-poenaed under a warrant issued by a judge.
