Musical instrument display case
My friend Doug had this case built for guitars, not trumpets but you might
want to take a look for some inspiration. This one is made from a combination of birch and cherry. He originally posted the pictures on the web to gauge whether there was sufficient interest among guitar collectors to attempt to market them. I think he has decided he will. http://home.comcast.net/~leegordonpr...t/display.html -- To e-mail, replace "bucketofspam" with "dleegordon" _________________________________ Lee Gordon http://www.leegordonproductions.com |

But if you have some expensive, collector typs of guitars, they deserve a good home! I knew some doll collectors. The constantly complained about not hve suitable display cases for their dolls. There is so much money into these dolls that spending some bucks on the display case was no problem. It helped to protect their investment. Eventually somebody started to make them in his garage workshop. Displayed them at some kind of sewing expo. He got all kinds of business from that. |

Amazing the difference in attitude of some folks about their axes ... I've a friend with an all original late 50's P-Bass that doesn't even have a case, he just carries the damn thing around from gig to gig by the neck, but man alive can he play. I can't help but get a kick out of imagining what his reaction to that display case would be. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 11/06/05 |

The cabinets not bad either. ;-) Do you know anything about the overhead hangers, where they came from, etc.? |

Very nice.

The hangers were designed by my friend (sort of a hybrid of two existing designs) and he had them fabricated at a local machine shop. I am trying to convince him that there is a separate market for the hardware in addition to a potential market for the cabinets. BTW, he also designed the storage space at the bottom of the cabinet so that it can accomodate 6 full size guitar cases. He calls that feature the "wife pleaser."

If he makes it into production make sure you post them in this group. I'll take a dozen right now and my cousin could feasibly use more than 100!

Ah yes, even if the *sticks* are displayed nicely, as yours are, we still have to find a place for them pesky HSC's. Curious, do have any innovative storage solutions for amps, processors, cords and uh, accessories? I have all of my *good stuff in cases in the closet, which is a pain to get out all the time, so I keep my *worker* hanging right here on the wall next to my desk for those frequent times when the *urge* takes me. Its usually pretty dusty, its a Fernandes Nomad. |

group. I'll take a dozen right now and my cousin could feasibly use more than 100! I just spoke to my friend and conveyed the above information to him and he was mildly shocked. Assuming the e-mail address in your header info is a legit one (not specially munged like mine) you may be hearing from Doug shortly but if you don't you can contact him at . In fact, since he has decided to market the cabinets, he has put up his own website www.guitarcollectorshowcase.com and if you go to the Gallery page there are a couple of pictures that give you a better view of the hangers than my photo gallery did.

Again, this is good stuff. I am always inspired to see somebody step forward and offer something that is unique and a quality product that meets a genuine need. Tell your friend that he is doing good and hope to see more creativity and products from him in the future. Display caess are a niche market. Maybe he can offer some more cases for both gitars and other markets as well. |
