Better case for my Martin?

FadaBullet · Mar 11, 2009

I keep my Martin in its original case,but there is no room for a humidifier in it and I need a humidifier where I live. .I was wondering if it is good idea to get a better case that offers more protection and room for a humidifier and then just use the original case for another uke.Good idea?

Edit: (I know you asked about humidifiers, but I thought all this fit the topic as per the mention of buying a new case for such a wondruffle instrument as your Martin)

AND a word about vinyl:

I kept my Martin style 1 in a Stagg tweed case. There's just enough room at the headstock area for a Herco humidifier. I think a Planet Waves small instrument humidifier might fit in there as well, but I'm not sure. I did a writeup on my blog that included this case (first one on the page).

Another option is one of those Kiwaya retangular cases. Lots of room for humidifiers in those.

Hey my case has a special place for the humidifier. As GX9901 said most people I think put them in the headstock area if there is no specific place.

Sorry about the pic quality, it's from an iphone in a dark room...

That's were I would put one also.I do a have compartment in my Martin case but it is too small for a Herco humidifier. It's only 1.5 inches wide and 3 inches long.

Better case for my Martin?
