Tips for Storing Musical Instruments

EL PASO, TX – August 26, 2013 - Musical instruments are expensive pieces of equipment that are highly valued by music lovers. A lot of time, energy and money are poured into lessons and practice as well as the instruments themselves.

To best protect valuable pieces of musical equipment, many individuals trust in El Paso secure storage facilities. If you are interested in safely storing musical instruments in El Paso storage units, take the following tips into consideration:

·         Clean and Condition. Prior to storing musical instruments in El Paso storage units, it is essential that you thoroughly clean and condition them. Clean the outside, and inside if applicable, and make sure that your instrument is freshly oiled. Also be sure that your instrument is completely dry to avoid any mold or rust from building. This is especially important for brass and wind instruments. If you are storing a string instrument, be sure that the string tension is relaxed before placing it in El Paso storage units.

·         Use Cases. Musical instruments are best stored in the case that was specifically made for them, so it is recommended that all instruments remain in their cases for the duration of storage at an El Paso public self storage facility. If you don’t have a case for your instrument, the next best option is to wrap the instrument in soft towels or blankets. For larger instruments, such as a piano or organ, drape a sheet over the body to protect from any dirt, dust or other residue that may potentially accumulate.

·         Avoid Stacking. No item should ever be placed on top of a musical instrument while in storage at an El Paso secure storage facility, even if it is stored in its case. Most cases cannot hold much weight, so if you were to place an item on top, you would put your instrument at a much higher risk of damage. It should also be noted that no items should be stored on top of a piano as this could lead to the cracking of the lid.

If you are planning on storing a musical instrument at an El Paso mini self storage or larger sized storage unit, the above tips will help you to best maintain the condition of your instrument for years to come.
