Hi Builders, I was in another forum and people were discussing hanging ukes vs. keeping in cases and some said they kept in the case to avoid atmospheric issues (humidity). I am curious if any of you have found any specific ranges to temperature or humidity or a combination where a uke was definitely impacted?
Would a satin uke be affected the same as a gloss uke (does the gloss protect the instrument from the elements (obviously no finish on the inside so the inside would be impacted similarly on both Satin and Gloss instruments?
I'm not sure if I am asking a questions that really has a definitive answer because there are so many variables such as how long it's been in the environment, how often it's been in large temperature/humidity swings, etc. but was curious as to what you have experienced with ukes that you believe were definitely affected by these changes.
Just trying to educate myself a bit more on this topic. Thanks guys for any feedback and your hundreds of years of combined experience.
Cheers!
