Music Instrument Fund of Ireland

The Music Instrument Fund of Ireland, Ronald Masin’s brainchild, was established in 1997 in order to support music performance in Ireland by helping young musicians to achieve their full potential with high-quality string instruments dating back to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. So far, forty students have benefited from this scheme. All of them have continued in the field of music, which, for some, might not have been the case without a MIFI instrument. MIFI is a vital addition to music education in Ireland and continues to add instruments to its collection and hold regular auditions so that young musicians throughout Ireland may profit.
