Music classroom storage cabinets with built-in shelves and durable design.

Cabinets That Protect Instruments from Damage

Musical instruments are a major investment for schools, orchestras, and community music programs. Instrument storage cabinets provide individual compartments for each item, shielding them from scratches, dents, and daily wear.

Lockable doors and sealed compartments help protect against theft and light exposure, which can damage wooden instruments over time.

Benefits include:

  • Separate compartments for each instrument
  • Solid or grille doors with secure locking systems
  • UV and dust protection for long-term preservation
  • Heavy-duty cabinet construction for daily school use
  • Ventilated design supports wood instrument care

Storage That Fits Every Instrument Type and Room Layout

No two music rooms are the same. That’s why music storage cabinets come in multiple sizes and door styles, from solid steel to wire grille to high-end laminate.

Adjustable interiors and dedicated compartments allow each instrument and piece of sheet music—whether it’s a flute, saxophone, drum, or tuba—to have a secure, space-efficient home.

Adjustable Music Cabinets:

  • Configurations for small, medium, and oversized instruments
  • Tall cabinets, under-stage units, and corner options available
