I just bought my first solid wood ukulele and started learning about the need to control for humidity. It makes sense, but I hadn't thought of it before. I live in a very dry part of the United States where relative humidity in my home gets quite low during the winter so I imagine it will be extra important. The ukulele is coming with an Oasis humidifier and I just bought a hygrometer to monitor it.
It made me wonder though how common low-humidity damage is. Has anyone here ever experienced it? Do you find something like the Oasis humidifier does a great job year round to prevent it?
My parents recently inherited a Martin guitar that my grandpa had purchased and I was told it had some minor damage to it...makes me wonder if humidity could be a factor because I don't think humidity has ever been controlled for it.
