For those of you who use an Oasis humidifier, do you use it alone or with another humidifier(s)?
I'm not sure what to think on the whole humidity/case situation. I tried a little experiment. I have a Humistat humidifier which I placed in a lidded plastic bowl next to a hygrometer. The reading was 57% RH. I placed the Oasis humidifier in the lidded bowl with the hygrometer and got a reading of 67% RH. This was to get an idea of output, there was nothing there to absorb humidity and the humidifier was right next to the hygrometer.
I have one of those canvas covered, styrofoam hard cases which shuts with a zipper. I put the Oasis humidifier in the body of the uke as it was intended to be used and I put the Humistat humidifier on top of the the little accessory compartment in the neck area of the case. I rested the hygrometer on top of my uke near the saddle. Hours later I checked on it and it only had a reading of 37% RH. I then placed the hygrometer in an area between the sound hole and the accessory compartment and got a reading of 47% RH. I'm kind of surprised at the the wide differences in the readings. I'm guessing that a hard case with latches would probably hold and keep more stable humidity levels?
