Sheet Music Cabinet II

This is very nice. In fact I need something similar so it would be a good project. Has anyone got an idea why sheet music should be stored horizontally on shelves, and not vertically like books?

Geir – Back in the old days, sheet music was often printed on larger paper than a standard letter size (or A4) sheet. One piece of music might only have a few leaves/folios, so standing it vertically on a shelf would mean it flops or slouches over. Unlike bound books, it’s quite ugly to look at a shelf full of loose sheets…especially when they start to slouch over. Easiest way to keep your collection protected, pretty and accessible is with a large bank of wide, shallow trays. Same way one would have stored maps back before personal GPS devices came along.

This must be something I really need! But need a bigger one though.

Keeping music sheets organized well is really a hard thing. Everyday you write or receive new sheets, so I have just too much to keep, it’s just a disaster when you need to find certain sheet from the pile. For now I just file 10-15 sheets each, in group of certain concert or lesson class.
I know I just need to be a organized person, but yes, I also want to know if anyone has good solution???
