Apologies in advance if this is the wrong forum for this inquiry.
I am considering purchasing a Koaloha Opio Super Soprano from The Ukulele Site. it comes with a Herco humidifier, with the option to upgrade to an Oasis 18 or Oasis 5+. I live in the southeast US on the coast. It is pretty humid here in general. This would be my first all-wood uke, so a few questions:
1. Will I likely need a humidifier at all? Even though it is humid, I do use the heater sporadically in the winter, and the air conditioner extensively in the summer.
2. If I do need to humidity the instrument, would I need to do it year round, or seasonally?
3. Should I upgrade my humidifier, or would the Herco be sufficient? Any harm in just getting the Oasis 18 anyway?
4. If I humidity the instrument when not needed, would I damage it extensively?
5. Finally, what are the odds that I could need to dehumidify the instrument?
Thanks in advance for any help!
