I have both my KoAloha concert and my Islander tenor in hard cases. Both have the metal clasp closures, not zippered. Both cost about the same & appear to be of equal quality. Now that it's turned colder in Utah, my forced air furnace is on. My hygrometer says the humidity in my office where my ukes live is about 38%. Both of my ukes have Nomad Humilele humidifiers that hang in the sound hole. Both were moistened at the same time. I put the hygrometer in each case to check the level. I placed the hygrometer on top of the uke body in the same place on both ukes. The tenor is 46-50% consistently. The concert is 41-42% consistently. I added a second D'Addario sponge type humidifier in the concert case, up by the headstock. Still 41-42%. Why such a difference? I want my KoAloha concert to stay happy all winter, and wish it was more in the 45-50% range.
