Wall hangers

Most people recommend that you store your ukuleles in cases, preferably ones that are humidity controlled.  I know I should, but I am too lazy, plus my cat has a habit of peeing on anything luggage like that is left out and about, so my Ameritage Silver Series cases (more expensive than some ukuleles) are much better protected in the closet.

As you all know, I'm a big Hawaii fan, so my home office has a Hawaii theme.  I have uli ulis, and an ipu on a shelf in my office.  


 So it was only natural for me to hang my ukuleles up there. I didn't want to use generic boring hangers, so I ordered some hand carved Hawaiian themed hangers.

For my small soprano, I have a honu turtle design.  My Pineapple Sunday is, naturally, on a pineapple hanger.  The Kamaka hangs on a whale hook, and my Kanile'a sits on a plumeria hanger.  I ordered them from a Ukulele Underground member named Toucan Mango, and got them from his eBay store. http://stores.ebay.com/Toucanmango

I highly recommend them, as they feature great wood designs, and padded protection for your ukuleles.
