Why use a humidifier?

The winter months ahead will bring with them colder and drier air which can be dangerous for instruments and bows. Wood absorbs and releases moisture as humidity levels change in the surrounding air. Instruments are, of course, made of wood. Dry air causes wood to release moisture which causes it to shrink and/or shift ever so slightly which for your instrument can lead to cracks and expensive repair bills. Of course most instruments will not crack, but as your instrument dries out, its tone will change, and seldom does it change for the better! Bow horsehair shrinks in dry air which can impair sound quality, or cause the bow to warp, or could even result in a disastrous bow tip break. A good phrase that comes to mind is: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Purchasing a relatively inexpensive humidifier will protect your investment and you to sound your best.

    My brother recommended these

    it has been really dry in Oklahoma recently, so I have four of these stretto humidifier boxes 'velcroed' in my cello case. It was time to replace the bags, so I ordered more to have them on and. These seem to work pretty well (with the hygrometer I have in my case) at keeping 'some' moisture in my large case. ... (See Full Review)

    Stretto Bag

    The Humidifier bag by Stretto works very well. I have found that using distilled water keeps the bag working better. Some tap water will prevent the bag from re-charging all the way. Have een using these for over 8 years now. ... (See Full Review)
