Hey all,
I live in Colorado where summers are hot and winters are cold and relative humidity is notoriously low. Add to that, most houses here do not have central air conditioning as a standard, but we have heating. My concern is growing as we approach the colder months and the care of my instruments is gaining higher priority, especially now that I have finally raised the funds and ordered a new Pono RTSH-5. During the spring and summer maintaining the right tempurature hasn't been much of a challenge and all that has been needed is a good humidifier in my cases. But soon, I will need to find a solution to the dropping temps (even temps inside our house can be lower than ideal for instruments as running the heater is costly).
I was thinking of building some sort of makeshift "humidor" - mainly, just some enclosed space, i.e. a cabinet, box, or closet, where I can more easily maintain a consistent tempurature and humidity. Any ideas? Is there anyone here that might live in similar conditions and what solutions have you discovered?
Thanks
