re: humidifiers I've been using something from this web-site: http://www.music123.com/Page-2.Music123?src=humidifier for some time now in my lute and hurdy-gurdy cases. I'm referring to the cello and violin humidifiers from Planet Waves. They come with an electronic hygrometer/thermometer that also records min/max temp and humidity. The violin size fits in my lute case; my HG case is rather large and not "tailored" to the instrument, so I use a cello size in it. I was able to purchase a water-holder (for lack of a better word) separately from the hygrometer, so I have only one of the latter to switch between cases. As for tuning in non-equal temp, korg makes one that will tune in Young's or Vallotti's meantone, but the ear is a good judge of a really sweet interval! You can find tables of differences in cents between equal and various other tunings such as just intonation; using a meter that registers cents, you can adjust pitches in or out of tune by cents.

If someone can point me to a thread, I would be grateful. Of course, direct answers are also appreciated. :-) What is the best way to humidify a HG case? What is the best hygrometer to buy? What is the best electronic tuner to use (with the ability to use non- equal temperament, of course) Thanks! Jay
