Nice display!

Is that wall cabinet specially made for cylinder storage?

Actually, it's a sheet music cabinet. As I could not find a cylinder cabinet.

Wonderful display I am so jealous. :mrgreen:

Good use of the music cabinet, I would have never known that it was not intended to hold the cylinders.

Thank you for sharing. :D :D

Great pictures! I hope you don't mind me saying, but they look a little grainy. I know very little about digital cameras, but perhaps you could photograph with a little more (flash) light? Nevertheless, thanks for sharing them with us.

Your Welcome Bill! Most cylinder cabinets either have pull out draws, or will have large pegs to hold cylinders. Also, they will have shorter legs, Where as, sheet music cabinets, will have long slender legs. When I bought the cabinet, I had a cylinder in my hand, that I was buying as well. So I just put in the cabinet and it fit. Execept for the bottom shelf. I can only lay cylinders on their sides.
