Every musician knows the importance of keeping your musical instruments in their best possible condition, especially if you have to store them away for any amount of time. Whichever instrument you own, whether it be percussion to brass or something with strings—an instrument is delicate, extremely expensive in most cases, and in need of safe, secure musical instrument storage. At Storage Deluxe, we want to let you know that WE know how to store you equipment, and store it correctly, to ensure that the instrument will be kept in mint condition.

Storage Deluxe has climate controlled storage units that are designed for something like musical instrument storage. Any sort of severe temperature change within your instrument storage unit can cause your brass instrument to well up or shrink down, mildew can begin to form, wood can rot or warp, and strings can break. At Storage Deluxe, we constantly monitor out unit’s temperature ensuring your instrument’s safety.

If you are planning on storing your instrument with Storage Deluxe we want to offer you a few good tips for best keeping the instrument. You should always try and store an instrument in its proper casing. This will ensure even better protection for it. It’s always good to drape a cloth over strings for added protection. And to ensure that the least amount of humidity hits the instrument, you can always put the cased instrument inside a polyethylene bag. If you are storing something larger (like a piano), we always recommend covering it in a blanket, to keep dust from getting in where it shouldn’t. If you are storing your instrument for a lengthy amount of time you should have your instrument both cleaned and tuned afterward to make sure your instrument is in its best condition!
