The Spread on Humidification
Once we all start turning the heat or AC on, things will start to dry out, including our instruments. Sometimes it’s even the natural climate of your location that poses a threat. There’s nothing more frustrating than finding a crack on the top or a shrunken fretboard/endpin/pickguard on your instrument, especially when it could have been avoided by properly humidifying. Here at our shops and homes, we have found that approaching humidity with three separate tools produces the best results.
1. In-case humidifier. Keeping your instrument inside a case when not in use greatly improves your chances of maintaining proper humidity. Check out Boveda or Oasis.
2. Portable hygrometer/thermometer to monitor the humidity level in the room where you store or play your instruments. It’s one thing to know what humidity is like inside the case but conditioning and monitoring your home, practice space, or storage closet is essential and easy to do.
3. In-room (Standalone) or home furnace humidifier. There are a gazillion options and you could very well need one or more depending on where you live and the type of system you use to heat your home with.
Optimum conditions for your instrument are humidity levels between 40-60% and temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees. Depending on where you live and how frequently you play (or inspect) your instruments you may not need all 3 items. We recommend that each owner approach humidity with their own environment in mind. However, all of us here at Northfield prescribe to the notion that it’s better to be safe than sorry. That’s why we’ve stocked up and are pleased to offer some of the same tools we use for you.
