Cases protect instruments, but cases themselves need care. Storage habits extend case life and keep instruments safe.
Where to store
- Cool, dry space — avoid attics and garages.
- Away from direct sunlight (fades exteriors).
- Off the floor on shelves or stands.
Humidity control
- Use silica gel or humidifiers for wood instruments.
- Check interior regularly for mold in humid climates.
- Keep cases unzipped briefly to air out after gigs.
Care routines
- Wipe exteriors with a damp cloth.
- Lubricate latches lightly if stiff.
- Check handles and stitching twice a year.
- Store empty cases with padding — never crush them.
