I have an old Koa Uke , a cheap one, it's the one I play the most,it hangs on the wall next to my computer. It keeps sounding better and better. The humidity here goes from 10% to 60 or more. Now ,bear with me and tell me if this makes any sense. Old ukuleles like Martins and others were never humidified, they went through variations in humidity for 100 years. Is this a big part of the reason they sound so good ? My cheap uke has been hanging unhumidified for years and has no cracks , and it sounds better than ever.
My vintage Martin which is about 80 years old was never kept humidified until I got it.
Will my Martin keep getting better and better if I dont humidify it? I'm wondering if cracks in ukuleles is just inevitable in some particular pieces of wood and would happen anyway humidified or not?
