Honeysuckle Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 I have recently acquired a second violin and would like to hang them both in a convenient spot in my practice space. Is this ok to do? I have seen a lot of shops with violins hanging from their necks and wondered. Is it safe for my violins to hang? They will be in a kid-free/pet-free space so that's not a worry. If this is ok to do where do I find hangers and do I need a specialized hanger? Thanks, Sharon B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc011c Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 I know quite a few people do this (my old stand partner for one) but I'd recommend against it. Safest to leave it in the case resting on its back. You risk it falling or damaging the scroll if you hang it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgeezer Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 My violin hangs by the scroll on a loop of ribbon. The ribbon is tied to a screw eye in the top of a glass front curio cabinet. It’s very secure, looks very nice and is protected from dust. A small glass of water keeps the humidity up. It’s easy to get it out and play.
