I have a dial hygrometer, about 3" in diameter and maybe 3/8" thick. The only place I can put it inside my uke case (a soprano Uke Crazy foam case) is inside the accessories compartment, which between that and the humidifier is pretty much full. The compartment door doesn't close with them in there, which means the humidity in there probably matches the main compartment pretty well, but it's a case of "out of sight, out of mind" -- I don't see the hygrometer, so I don't check the humidity often. At the moment that's okay (in fact I don't have the humidifier in) but once winter sets in and our house dries out, I worry about not noticing how dry the case is getting.
So are there any good hygrometers available that are smaller than this? Something that might fit in the main compartment, say under the headstock? Or should I just put a sticker saying "read the hygrometer" on the case? I suppose that'd be cheaper...
