Re: How do you store your instruments when not playing
I put them back in their cases, where they won't be bumped around, with in-case humidifiers in winter when the house is very dry -- that's the least of my problems in the humid summer months. As Gary suggests, the downside is that I'm less inclined to grab an instrument spontaneously and play it for a few minutes. (If you want a picture, you can draw your own.)
Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
