Thread Name: Hanging instruments on the wall?
Subject: RE: Hanging instruments on the wall?
guest,i'd make one suggestion on this...if you hang instruments on the wall(we are talking string instruments) it's GOOD IDEA to LOOSEN the strings on them...especially in very cold weather!we had a mandolin hung up as a decoratoion in my den and it gets colder there duriong winter than other rooms in the house...
one winter night just as we snuggled under the covers,wee heard a loud CRACK!!!it sounded like a gun shot...no kidding!
it took us quite awhile to figure out what happenred.
our mandoling hanging on the wall had a broken neck on it...split ritght up the middle of it...we knew exactly why...the COLD weather was the culprit!
anyway,just a thought and hope you have a wonderful decoration on your wall space!!!
