My monkey pod cracked
Last night here in LA, the weather got very dry, down to 5% humidity. I have a shelf setup to hold my ukes, with trays for water and hygrometer to help control the humidity around the ukes. Through the day today the hygometer was around 20-25%. I got a little worried so I draped a towel over the front of the shelf to help, the hygrometer went up to about 35%.
A little later I took out my Lanikai solid top monkey pod to play a little and shortly into it, saw a large crack in the top below the bridge, DAMN!
I thought I was so clever to make the shelf system, and drape the towel, but obviously I was too late. I don't think it's going to be that detrimental, to me it sounds the same as before, and I checked my other ukes, they seem fine.
So I'm going to put glass doors on the shelf with rubber padding to try and make it more humidor like.
