Suppose you just bought a beautiful new uke. You play it, love it, then stuff it in a bag and hide it in the closet.
That's what got me to building this display case. It has a three hooks for dangling your uke via a leather strap, a drawer for your music books, and room enough underneath for hiding the gig bag.
A display case like this makes it possible to show off your instrument while keeping it safe from the kids, cat, and dry air. I used plexiglass for the see-through parts and a sliding front door. By putting a standard humidifier inside, the moisture content stays fairly constant.
EDIT: I just added a second approach to the same design. This one was suggested by Lori (of Uke Leash fame). She suggested having the uke bags visible so as to keep track of them, either filled or empty.
These are a bit impractical to ship, but if you're in southern California and want to see one up close, let me know. If you are outside the region and would like to build one for yourself, PM me and I will let you in on some dimensions.
