...and one hopes that there is even a spot for an alto clarinet wall hanging somewhere. There is a furnace closet at the union local that it would look just peachy if installed next to the toilet plunger and brush hanging point.

One of these days, when I have the time, I'm going to put together a new version of my clarinet wall hanging. That's the one where the horn (junk, student version) is mounted on two threaded bolts into holes drilled in the rear and passed through a 1/4" Plywood® sheet cut in a slightly larger rectangle, then the horn and the front of the backing plate are spray painted with a dose of the two component "granite finish" in a color suitable to complement your decor, the whole thing then being matted and framed (no glass).

I first saw this in a interior decor shop in Florida many long years ago, and I've made two of them in the past (both given away after someone expressed interest in same). It makes for a nice vertical "filler" wall hanging, and it gives you the "clarinetness" of the original without it being all in your face. (It also covered up the dings and wear on the junker instrument).

I'd do one of a bass clarinet (we have the perfect spot for it), except I didn't pick up a junker from the Brook-Mays "woodpile" (a huge stack of bass and alto clarinets from schools, kept as a source of spare parts by their industrial-scale repair shop). I have an old Albert system bass from a Nineteenth Century Italian maker, but it's too funky even for a wall hanging.
