At Ax & Wax, we believe that every musical instrument has a dual identity — not just as a tool for sound, but as a piece of art that reflects your personal journey and style. This guide is dedicated to music lovers who see their instruments not merely as objects, but as extensions of their own artistic expression. Whether you're a guitarist with a flair for the dramatic or a violinist with a penchant for the classics, your instruments deserve a spotlight in your home décor.
Before you begin transforming your instruments into show-stopping décor pieces, it's important to assess your living space. Consider the following:

Personal Significance: Sometimes, it’s the instrument’s story that makes it a candidate for display, like a drumstick from a memorable concert.
