Metro brand wire shelving (home version of the shelving found in some of your classier deli's), comes in black, white and chrome. Standard item at a reasonable hardware/home improvement place or off the web. Ours was about $100 for a four shelf unit plus another $20 for an extra shelf. Picture: http://www.elroberto.com/pictures/luteRack.jpg The shelves are 18" deep by 4' and in most cases you can get two lutes on a shelf. The picture shows when we were testing it out. It currently holds 8 lutes (floor and bottom three shelves); curtal, consort of renaissance recorders on the next shelf; two baroque guitars and a couple of shawms piled on top of them on the top shelf. All in 6 square feet of precious NYC one-bedroom apartment floor space. (Note that this is a two lute player household.) ..Bob -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
