Another cabinet I have questions about. Look!

Post by Jerry B. »

Here's another cabinet I purchased today. (It was a good day!) It's a large mahogany cabinet, 40" tall, 23.25" wide, and 19" deep. On the inside it is cut every few inches to accommodate many shelves close together or a few as shown. The inside shelves are about 15.5" wide and 16.25' deep. Normally, when I see shelves close together I think it's a sheet music cabinet but I'm not so sure. The shelves are very sturdy and will take quite a bit of weight. There is no indication that there was ever a needle cup on the inside. Is it a sheet music, record, or music box disc cabinet?

Hi Jerry- If all the shelves were in place, are they spaced for piano rolls... Perhaps??

Is it also deep enough for piano roll boxes?

The spacing between cuts for the shelves is a tight 2" apart until you get to the last three and they are wider. Jerry

That would make sense for piano rolls- there are standard size boxes which are up to 2" high, and "Concert" size rolls which can be a good half inch bigger. Piano roll boxes are at least 13 inches deep.
