I currently have 10 hanging on it, which is just 1 per hook, but there is plenty of room to put 2 per hook or even 3 or 4 without changing the effectiveness of the system in my opinion. I actually have a bunch more triangles myself, but I have the rest sitting in the old basket in my closet right now. I chose to do that because the truth is, most of the time I don't need more than 10. Usually when we use triangles it is in small groups- the biggest group being half of the class- with the others either singing or playing another instrument. If I need them for something specific they're there, but for the most part I'd rather just have out the ones that I use on a regular basis.Elizabeth Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042281726294433770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819722186267743707.post-12688550168521965472015-08-29T05:03:34.250-04:002015-08-29T05:03:34.250-04:00Drawers are so much better for keeping the dust aw...Drawers are so much better for keeping the dust away! At my last school I also had cabinets which helped too. I do like the open shelves because the instruments are out and available- it just changes the atmosphere somehow- but I could definitely do without the dust issue!

I have all of my instruments in drawers right now which I am liking because it eliminated the dust issue.

The only problem was that they always had to dig around for the beater. Plus, the strings that held the triangles were always slipping off. Your idea would've worked so much better :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04528207504273223827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819722186267743707.post-82496196113419804322015-08-18T08:22:01.670-04:002015-08-18T08:22:01.670-04:00I LOVE this idea!!
