Hi everyone!
I'm moving home and I'm worried about the effect it's going to have on my ukulele, which I acquired here. Currently I live in a relatively humid climate, but home is technically a desert. It is by no means a fancy or expensive ukulele, but I quite like it and don't want it to crack. Should I somehow try to ease it into the low humidity or should I just take my chances? I read some of the other posts about humidity, but I'm not going to get into hygrometers or humidifiers because the ukulele just isn't of a caliber that would make that worthwhile.
And my second question: does shipping a ukulele count as ukulele torture? I mean, it will be in a hard case, which will be wrapped in a sleeping bag inside a sturdy cardboard box handled by the postal service's finest. I know I should take it as carry-on, but I have an insane amount of junk and it's all clamouring to be carry-on. Since the ukulele has a protective case, it'll probably lose .
Thanks for any help you can give me!
