I'm trying to get a case humidifier, but there's no such thing in my part of the WORLD (we only have those silly "dampits" for guitars). I'll try and IMPORT a serious case humidifier in the next few months, before the next dry season.
not every place and country has access to stuff like you do so easily... The closest HG teacher, for example, is at least 10 THOUSAND kilometers away... I also have to procure strings OVERSEAS... well, it's part of the fun of playing such a different instrument, but I do resent a little bit this kind of tone...
