I’ve recently come across D’Addario Humidipak humidifiers, and seen that they’re supposed to last 2-6 months!
Has anyone had good/bad experiences with these?
I’m in a place that gets nosebleed-level dry in the winter, and may sometimes be away for a month or two. I had assumed this meant “no solid wood”. But if there are humidifiers that can go a few months without needing to be filled or changed, that might open up some options.
Would you trust a Humidipak humidifier to protect a solid-top or all-solid-wood instrument under those circumstances?
If so, how would you recommend preparing an instrument when I’m going to be away for a while?
Does the fact that these humidifiers both absorb/release moisture as needed mean they won’t over-humidify and I could put multiple Humidipaks in the case to be sure they’d last until I got back?
