Backing Fabrics to Match or Contrast Your Instrument
The back panel of your Case or Cabinet is 1/4 inch hardboard, sealed to eliminate vapor exchange, and covered with a wide
range of decorative fabrics.
For a conservatory environment, dye free linen over a thick cotton batting provides an excellent moisture buffer, significantly
improving humidity control without the formaldehyde vapors from most styled fabrics.
We stock a variety of colors in a Wood Grained Satin Moire (Standard). Optional Velvets, Faux Leathers, and Faux Suede
samples will be sent to you while we are fabricating your cabinet.

Complete Fabric Catalog
Almost any upholstery fabric may be used to cover the back panel, we encourage you to shop your local retailers and specify
your fabric and color. We should be able acquire your selection.
Look for a cotton based fabric, or at least one with a thick cotton backing. This layer is key to providing a moisture
buffer which helps stabilize the humidity after the door is opened.
How's it Hang?
We use String Swing hangers exclusively and stock several models to suit your particular instrument. Electrics tend to hang
closer to the back panel than Acoustics, hence different hangers. Mandolins are hung on a slightly smaller Yoke than a Guitar.
Violins sit on the base of the headstock, not the tuning keys. Violin Cabinets include a Bow Hook and are sized to hold a
full sized bow.
We also offer our Trademarked MultiLocYoke. This special block allows instrument height adjustment with four settings, and
infinite depth adjustment.

How's the Cabinet Hang?
Behind the back panel, a pair of interlocking braces carry the weight of your instrument and the weight of the cabinet separately
and directly to your wall.
The Cabinet Sides completely hide the braces. Unless your wall is severely out of plumb, your cabinet will hang flush to the
wall.
