I used two Dampits when we were in Arizona a number of years ago.
They lasted about five minutes total. A little helpful, but not
much! I wish I'd thought of the sponge in the baggie idea- though
that would have been difficult to implement while playing out doors...

What's so silly about a guitar dampit? That's what I use for my hg,

Actually, I forget if it's meant for guitar or cello. I bought
various dampits for my various instruments, and lost track of which
wound up with which. I just use whatever works.

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...

Hello,

My problem is exactly the opposite
for some reason, during our dry season (we get 10% humidity here for
over three months!), many of my keys start to stick. Logic would
tell me that it should be the opposite (a wood expands with
humidity)...
the reason is simple and logic: If the tangentbox gets very dry the
boards of the box get warped, the tangents get fixed by the warped
board.
10% humidity here
sorry, this is far beyond all limits acceptable. either humidify the
air in which the instrument is kept or live with that problems.
kind regards, Simon
