Ideas for keyboard collection storage

[Frenir]

How do you guys store your extra keyboards in your collection, do you hang them the wall, have a dedicated shelf?

How do you get suitably sized boxes? Please tell me

I save the boxes and bubblewrap that people like Elitekeyboards uses to ship.

I keep mine in their original boxes, inside a closet.

Thank you. I swear I tried to find if there was already a thread on this, I didn't do a very good job at it i suppose.

There are a few more but that was the most recent I believe.

You can go online to the US Post Office and order "game board" flat rate Priority Mail boxes. They are not available in brick and Mortar POs, but will be delivered to your doorstep free of charge in boxes of 25 (ie if you order "3" you will get 75!).

They are large, big enough to hold a well-wrapped 122, but will easily fit 2 standard keyboards, maybe 3 if they are thin.

sadly, many beam spring and hall effect keyboards are too large to fit in the game board boxes.

Seriously?

Which dimension(s) is too great?

Since I'm mostly into 60% boards, I've found that the Container Store Our Shoebox fits really well and then "Men's Shoebox" fits 75% boards.

I like them because they are see-through and stack well. The only criticism I have is that the boxes are a little bit tall. I wish I could find a divider that would allow for two boards to fit in one box, or to find a smaller box.

Get a sheet of foam insulation board at Home Depot and cut it to fit with a utility knife.

I am using the original box for the one I'm not using at the moment, but that free standing white shelving number looks bloody tempting...

All the ones that I have boxes for stay in boxes, in a pile, and the ones that don't have boxes, sort of live on, or leaning against this pile. It's a terribly elegant solution...
