Hello all! First of all let me say that I'm new here and also new to the Ukulele (my first one hasn't even arrived in the mail yet ). I really want to be prepared when it gets here so I've been looking at humidifiers and reading many topics in this forum about them. It seems that humidity can be a confusing topic (especially for new-comers like myself). For example, even though I live in Florida (a very humid state), I know that air conditioning and heating can suck moisture from the air and cause the humidity to still be below what is optimal. At the same time, I know that too much humidity can also be a problem, albeit not as much of one. So I am left with a question: Is a humidifier necessary in FL? I know that the easy answer to this would be to purchase a hygrometer and find out. I will probably do just that but I also have a proposal.
I think it would be useful (to both long-time musicians and new users) if we had a thread dedicated to saying what our experiences have been with humidity in our respective areas with different methods of storage (case, wall, etc.) For example, you could do something like this:
Where I live: Florida
Ukes I Own: Solid/Laminate/Whatever
How I store them: All in cases.
My Experience:
Humidity levels usually stay within ___ and ___ without the use of a humidifier, except when I run the heater in winter. In winter I find that ________ is the best humdifier. etc.
I think giving people a central location of examples would really help new users, and possibly give the senior members new insights that they hadn't thought about before.
(I apologize ahead of time if others think this is unnecessary, if it has already been done and I just missed it, or if this is the wrong place to post something like this.)
