I've been using the Kyser "Lifegaurd" guitar humidifier. This is really something that's supposed to go in an acoustic guitar's sound hole, (it is too big for my classical guitar) but I just stick it under the strings directly on the rose. It works on my instruments, but it might be too thick for some lutes.
I had worries at first that it might warp the soundboard or even drip water into the instrument, but after constant use over two long and brutal Rochester winters, I see no ill effects. I store the lute in a closet with a humidifier as well. http://www.amazon.com/Kyser-Lifeguard-String-Guitar-Humidifier/dp/B0002GZSNQ Chris Christopher Wilke Lutenist, Guitarist and Composer www.christopherwilke.com --- On Sun, 3/6/11, Dan Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Dan Smith <[email protected]> > Subject: [LUTE] Lute humidifiers > To: [email protected] > Date: Sunday, March 6, 2011, 7:45 PM > Does anyone have > any recommendations for a humidifier for lute.
