About the LMIA

The LMIA is a private and unincorporated association that was setup in 2022.

Our goal is to provide a free online photographic library of musical instruments as well as a directory of instrument makers.

This resource is intended for research and educational purposes only.

Photographs depicted on this website are supplied by the owners of the instruments and are used with their express permission.

Rights to all images remain with their respective owners.

For more information on how to submit instruments to the Instrument Library please see the Submission Form page.

If you believe an instrument that you own is listed on this website without your permission, please contact info@lmia.org.uk to discuss the situation.

Please read our Terms & Conditions for more information.
