Hi everybody.
I came up with a simple solution to hang ukuleles without needing to drill a hole in the wall. Also they are movable and re-usable.
In Japanese styled rooms, there is usually a piece of wood embedded on the walls, called Kamoi (鴨居), which is carved on the top(like a ditch), so you can hang stuff on it. I didn't want to damage it, so a to drill the uke hanger on it was out of the question. I had to improvise.
First I bought a few Mahalo uke hangers (like these http://ec3.images-amazon.com/images/I/21C0i6elvML._SL500_AA280_.jpg)
Then got a few two "L" shaped metal arms and 4 sets of nuts and bolts. I attached them to the uke hanger like this :
Then I only had to adjust the depth of the screw position in order to fit it inside the "ditch" and that's it.
If you don't have a room with a "Kamoi", I guess you could use the same principle to have a movable uke hanger panel. So when you have to create more or less space, it is very easy.
