So I was all set to place an order for a KAKA/ENYA EUT-MAD when I decided to look up the care instructions for ukes.
A lot of sites refer to tips on how to maintain humidity with Oasis sound-hole humidifiers, but I will be faced with the opposite problem. I don't have any heating or cooling where I live, and the building I am in has no insulation - so it's at the mercy of the elements.
Here's the climate for my area:
http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_040405.shtml
So what I've read suggests to buy a hygrometer and a case (de)humidifier to maintain the humidity levels. Would this even work in a soft case, or would I also have to buy a hard case?
I though the D'Addario Humdipak would do the trick as it is coined as a "two-way humidity control system"
http://www.planetwaves.com/pwProduc...stem&sid=a4b273b8-a112-442a-a2b5-f267c3ac19b4
But then toward the bottom of the page - "This product is not intended for de-humidification in high humidity environments."
I'd already extended my budget a bit because I love the look and sound of the EUT-MAD, but it looks like the actual cost to maintain one will add a lot more to that.
