Hygrometer

Can anyone recommend an accurate hygrometer?

I checked out UkuleleReview and she had no clear cut winner.

I have a Western Calliber III. It had the best reviews. It does not have to be salt calibrated either. Hope that helps.

I've bought several kinds of hygrometers in an effort to combat the Minnesota winter for my ukes. Whether it's a made-specifically-for-instrument hygrometer such as a Planet Waves or a cheap Springfield hygrometer from Wal-Mart, they all seem to read the humidity a little different (less so for the temperature reading). But when you have a few of them you can get a general ballpark idea of the relative humidity. I would say the instrument specific hygrometers are too expensive and not worth the price. Maybe get a few of those springfield hygrometers and use the one reading the lowest humidity as your benchmark. These are the ones I use in uke cases unless the case is an Ameritage (it has its own hygrometer).

I have a Fluker's terrarium hygrometer in my case. It reads about 5% higher than my Oregon Scientific weather station, which was reading the same as what weather.com was reporting for my area at the time I was comparing the two.

The Oregon Scientific remote sensor will easily fit in a uke case. It has an LCD display on it for temperature and humidity. And if you have a base station, you'll know the temp and Rh in your case without having to open it.
