Doesn't case storage increase the danger of mold/mildew? I'm curious about this issue because we are new to lute, but have always been instructed to store our dulcimers out of the cases to discourage mold growth. And the harps sit out with only a dust cover. So far the lute has stayed in it's case, being far more fragile than the other instruments, but I've been seriously worrying about possible mold. David Rastall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The same sort of argument applies to humidity: the air in the case is the same as that in the room outside it. So hanging the lute on the wall does not necessarily expose the lute to more or less humidity than it it would get in its case.
