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.

I'm pretty sure that these subjects have been discussed here before.
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
