What is the best way to store my saxophone when not in use?

You are here:

Storing your saxophone properly when not in use is essential for its longevity and performance. Here are some tips on the best way to store your saxophone:

  1. Before storing your saxophone, make sure to clean and swab it thoroughly.
  2. Store your saxophone in a sturdy, padded case designed specifically for saxophones. The case should provide adequate protection from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
  3. Store your saxophone in a location with stable temperature and humidity levels. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, which can wear and dry pads and corks.
  4. It’s generally best to store your saxophone in its case. However, if the instrument can be stored safely on a saxophone stand, ready to go, you may find you practice more if you don not need to pack it up or re-assemble each time. If your space is prone to lots of movement, it may be best to store in the case.

By following these tips, you can help ensure that your saxophone remains in excellent condition while it’s not in use.
