FAQ: Ukulele Wall Mounts
1. What sizes of ukulele does this wall rack fit?
The GearHooks® Ukulele Wall Mount Rack is designed to fit all standard ukulele sizes — including soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone models.
Each GearHook® is 300mm long with a 45mm spacing between arms, meaning it securely supports ukuleles of varying body and neck widths.
The hooks are coated with a thick PVC sleeve that prevents slipping and protects the finish of each instrument.
Whether you’re storing compact soprano ukuleles or larger tenor and baritone types, this wall rack provides a secure, space-saving solution.
2. How many ukuleles can the rack hold at once?
The rack comes in two main versions to suit different classroom or studio sizes:
- UKU-15: Holds up to 15 ukuleles (3 hooks, up to 5 instruments per hook)
- UKU-25: Holds up to 25 ukuleles (5 hooks, up to 5 instruments per hook)
Each rack uses just three fixings, making installation simple and secure.
If you need additional capacity, multiple racks can be mounted side by side or stacked vertically to accommodate an entire classroom of instruments.
This modular design means you can easily expand your storage as your collection grows.
3. How is the ukulele rack installed?
Installation is quick and straightforward — perfect for schools, studios, and home setups.
Each rack requires only three screws and wall plugs (included).
For wooden walls, drill 3 × 5mm holes about 65mm deep; for solid brick or block walls, drill 3 × 8mm holes about 70mm deep and insert the provided wall plugs.
The steel rail has multiple fixing slots so you can easily align the rack even if your drilling isn’t perfectly measured.
Once mounted, the GearHooks® can slide along the rail to adjust spacing for different instruments.
4. Can I join several racks together?
Yes — you can easily combine multiple GearHooks® racks to build a larger storage system.
Many schools and music studios mount two racks one above the other to store up to 50 ukuleles in just 1 metre of wall space.
Racks can also be placed end-to-end to create a continuous wall display.
Because each rack uses the same steel rail design, alignment is seamless and installation remains simple.
5. Will hanging ukuleles damage them?
Hanging ukuleles by the headstock is completely safe when done with properly designed, padded hooks.
Ukuleles are lightweight instruments, and their necks are strong enough to support the load.
The GearHooks® system uses soft PVC-coated arms to prevent scratches, dents, or pressure marks on the finish.
For long-term care, we recommend keeping the rack away from radiators or direct sunlight to avoid temperature or humidity changes.
6. Is this rack suitable for classrooms and group storage?
Absolutely. The GearHooks® Ukulele Rack was originally designed for school music departments and community groups.
It allows up to 25 ukuleles to be stored neatly in one small area, freeing up valuable floor space and keeping instruments safely out of reach.
Teachers can quickly distribute and collect ukuleles before and after lessons, saving time and reducing the risk of damage.
The wall-mounted design also helps maintain classroom tidiness and improves safety by keeping instruments off the floor.
7. What materials are used in the rack and hooks?
The main rail is made from high-strength, powder-coated steel for durability and a professional finish.
Each GearHook® is formed from 8mm thick heavy-duty steel rod and then coated in 2mm-thick PVC to protect instrument finishes.
The fixings and sliding nuts are made from zinc-plated steel for corrosion resistance, making the system suitable for long-term use in classrooms, studios, or home environments.
8. Can I install it without drilling?
For safety reasons, we strongly recommend drilling and using the included wall fixings.
Adhesive strips, suction mounts, or “no-drill” solutions are not suitable for this rack, as they may not safely support the combined weight of multiple ukuleles.
Drilling three small holes ensures a secure, permanent installation that can hold 15–25 ukuleles safely and reliably.
9. How does this compare with individual ukulele hangers?
Individual hangers take up more wall space and require multiple holes for installation.
A GearHooks® rack stores up to 25 ukuleles using just three screws, making it far more efficient and easier to install.
It’s also easier to move or reconfigure, since the hooks can slide along the rail to accommodate different instruments.
This makes it the ideal choice for classrooms, studios, or ukulele groups where space and flexibility matter.
10. Do you offer custom configurations or colours?
Yes, custom configurations and colours can often be arranged.
If you require a specific number of hooks, alternative spacing, or a different finish to match your décor or branding, please contact us directly.
We can supply bespoke lengths or multi-level arrangements to suit your storage needs.
