That book case display is awesome! Thanks for the idea. Only have one uke at the moment and soon to have a second. But as the herd grows I'm totally going to keep this in mind. Love the look!

Thanks. It was my wife's idea to be able to see them. I think that she was right.
Rather than start a new post, I'm going to bump this up. Has anyone found the answer to a ukulele rack (for 5 instruments)? There are tons of rack options for guitars, but those are too tall. Looking for something like this for sale in the US. Wondering why no body through to make a guitar rack with adjustable height so people could use with ukuleles (because you know none of us have more than one ukulele).

Padded Ukulele Stand. Excellent condition. Storage for five ukes. UK sale.
Foam padded stand for five ukes in excellent unmarked condition. Folds for storage. Ukes not included in the sale. A great product which usually sells out very quickly when the shops eventually get some stock. This one came from Omega Music. £32 including delivery or £28 cash on collection from...

I think you can use a 3-guitar rack for 5 ukes and it'll be the perfect height for picking up uke and playing. The uke rack in your post looks very short, so it'll have to go on a table or something to make its ukes easily accessible. Maybe put a basket holding misc uke stuff under the ukes since they don't need all the space beneath them when put on a guitar rack:
Hmmm, I have another idea. Since the ukes are so small, I wonder if a record rack can work? Add a little bit of padding and put it on your table:

Bonanza Ukulele makes a kind of cool carousels for ukuleles. If I had a music room or a specific place to play, it would be a slick addition.Rather than start a new post, I'm going to bump this up.

Quite a lovely collection!

I bought a guitar rack and shortened it in one side and the bottom profiles. At the time I sized it for a small romantic guitar at the far right.
And some are in my new stringswing

Wow Poul. That's one amazing collection.
I love what you did with the guitar rack. What model and brand is that guitar rack? I'd probably cut both sides down, since I'm pretty much tenor ukuleles only. But that's the ideal outcome. Did the legs adjust or did you use a saw?

Django, Best cases
And sorry for my ignorance and being slightly off topic, but do you have humidity problems in Winter from heating or the cold? (No humidity issues at all here in Tasmania)
Best cases I've ever seen Django!! Does the clock one strum on the hour? ;-)

It's a Rockstand for electrical guitars. I used a hacksaw but this stand is "made" for cutting down. I also moved one of the bottom tubes, to accomodate the smaller bodies.
Thank you, I tell myself and others: I'm not collecting........Ouhmmmm..........I'm not collecting........Ouhmmmm as I just sold several hundred items from Greenland to make more space in my smaller house. I just wanted one of each kind of instrument but they just keep coming !! And You ain't seen nothing yet ;-)
I have started to refine the "noncollection" but so far I've only managed to get better high end instruments but not gotten rid of any of the lower end stuff.

These are two of the stands that I've made for a friend. I have one but hard to show ATM. The ukes are always available, but we don't have any humidity issues here.
Luthier Steve Burke not only builds fabulous instruments, but he also builds custom stands (https://burkeguitar.com/guitar-stands)
He graciously threw-in an amazing custom stand with my baritone purchase-- Meticulous workmanship- and generous pricing!

Cool ukes
Nice Graphophone! What model is that? I have a collection of Graphophones and Edison machines. I used to do a lot of restoration work.
Southern Ukulele Store sell one. Not necessarily of any interest if you’re not in the UK, but it shows they’re out there. (Haven’t tried to post a link on this site for about 5 years, so apologies if it doesn’t work)
