Proper storage and maintenance of musical instruments make sure that you are able to churn out beautiful sounds from them for a long time. Storing the instrument is essential when you are not using it, and when you are planning to travel with it. You need to be very much careful and meticulous and you need musical equipment bags fit for taking them safely and conveniently when you travel. You must invest in sturdy, durable and easy-to-carry gig bags if you are really serious about caring for your instruments.

It is very common to be caught in a fix between gig bags and hard cases. Hard cases are sturdy, but they are heavy and extremely difficult to carry. Carrying your instrument in a hard case may be troublesome for your hands and shoulder. On the other hand, gig bags are not only sturdy, but also durable, stylish-looking and very convenient to carry with soft yet strong backpack and shoulder straps. Gig bag is an all-in-one solution for the utmost protection of your instrument.

 

Coming to the maintenance of musical instruments, there are many who possess the habit of keeping instruments leaned to the wall. If you have this habit, say goodbye to it now. This heightens the chance of the instruments falling on the ground. If you notice corrosion, discolouration or any cracks on the surface of the instrument, you can either take it to a professional for the fix-up or you can do-it-yourself by following the guidelines. These issues may arise when the instruments are in musical equipment bags for a longer time-period.
Remember to care for your instruments. If you have not been doing this till yesterday, start from today.
