Humidity solutions

Thanks for the link John...looks like good advice. The humidity is at about 80% right now according to Weather.com (but dropping). I'll be sure and keep and eye on it.

I have a cheap Hygrometer and living in Scotland it usually reads somewhere between 50/70 %.I have had guitars,mandolins and fiddles lying around my various homes for the last 40 years and never noticed a problem,but then I,ve always lived in old houses which were draughty so I guess the central heating effect was watered down.
My present Avalon a Legacy A32 has such fine build quality I just don,t worry about it.

You live in an area of low humidity. I notice that it is 22% in Ontario today and that is not healthy for a wooden guitar. Have a look at the link I posted earlier in this thread for the effects of low humidity.

I hope this helps
