Just an fyi to fellow ukers,
I searched long and hard for a ukulele display case and the prices were absolutely silly high, whether it was pre made, or custom made acyrilic or wood ....but it was also silly to have my ukes just sitting in a closet and not being appreciated.....visually...without going thru the effort of taking them out, looking and playing, and then going back into closet jail for who knows how long before seeing it again.
One day I was shopping at Ikea and saw this. I said....mmmmm i could make that work!!!
59.oo bucks!!!, I bought two.... a little pain putting togeather but not terrible if you follow the instruction!!! Two people makes the job much easier.. glass is a bit heavy...
very happy with it. each unit come with 2 boxes. a lot of glass.
you can fit 2 tenors in each or probably 4 concerts and ....???? sopranos. depends on what you use for ukulele stands. I also put
an interior light in each cabinet, which they sell(ikea) looks awsome at night,,,very classy.
Pros:
....Get to see and appreciate what you have already!!!!!!!
....Helps stop UAS....!!!!!
....Helps downsizing..!!!!! if its not display case worthy, you decide criteria, it goes on sale. I do keep a daily player uke hanging on the wall and for travel use. In my case its a Cocobolo concert.
....Eliminate humidification worry...I have a glass of water in each display case and a $12.00 digital humidity measurment gauge.
see the ikea item on the link below.....I live near an ikea so I picked them up
