Ok well, so far I haven't been controlling the humidity around my uke and haven't had adverse effects.
I don't know what to look for in order to know if it is not being stored properly.
if anyone knows the signs of bad humidity let me know
thanks
I live in a dry climate with forced air heating in winter & AC in summer. I had a laminate uke with a wood fretboard that developed rough fret edges fairly quickly last summer without any humidity in the case. I now keep a humidifier in the case with my laminate uke.
Where do you live?, that makes a huge difference.
Jarmo, if I've understood correctly, you are using a humidifier for only half of the day, at present. It vapourises five 5litres of water in that time. So in the winter, in full usage, it will be putting ten litres of water a day into the atmosphere within your home. I know nothing of the conditions, or of normal requirements, but those numbers seem very high to me. I wonder if I am the only one who finds it surprising?
