Our Brass & Woodwind instruments have a home at last!







Being a trombone player, I'm almost embarrassed to admit I've never had a purpose built showcase for our trumpets, trombones & saxophones... not any more!   How good do the Alto saxes look now?!  Interestingly, the slat wall hangers I bought to display the saxes & trombones are made in the USA by a company called Stringswing, and, while it was nice to have something not made in China for change, would you believe they have a different sized slat wall slot in the USA than here in Australia... which I thought was bizarre in this increasingly monocultured world we're living in?!  The only solution was for me to get out my angle grinder (any excuse Gra!) & grind about 5mm off the top each hanger of every hanger so they would fit in the slots!  A bit of work but a great effect in the end.
