Short Version: What's the best fabric to have a uke laying on?
Long Version: I bought a book case and have my favorite ukes for daily playing/practicing sitting on it's shelves within arm's distance. It's a great system for me. I have each shelf lined with old dish towels and hand towels and put a large beach towel in front to keep out the dust when I'm not playing. It's now time to upgrade the look of the system, and want to put a nice looking fabric on top of the shelf towels and am curious on everyone's thoughts on fabrics.
I've looked through some of my cases, and see the fabrics are mostly some form of polyester material. Some are velveteen-like, others are nylon-like, etc. So, if you have any thoughts on what might be better or worse for the ukes please let me know. The five I usually keep in the case are either koa or mahogany and either gloss or satin finish.
Before anyone asks, we keep the house humidity at 50% +/- 3% all year long. Also, hanging all in a case within arms reach would be more dangerous for taking in and out frequently.
