WHAT THE @$#*&@$^? 

[jlaci]

do you think, the usage of the humidifier should correlate with the climate (i'm not sure about the hawaiian climate in this respect) or e.g. the frequency of needing to refill it seems something general (the same in every country), you think?

@jlaci yeh i live in the uk and it rains alot, keeping the moisture out is more of a problem i think :D

[mashbid28]

what i do at night i take a towel and soak it in water and hang it that's all you need to have a big humidifier

You can also use a TicTac case and a sponge, this is what I did.

@glik8r85 @aprluvr A humidifier makes the water content in the air go up to prevent drying of the wood and cracking. This is not so important with laminate Ukes and guitars, but for instruments made of solid wood it's a must.

i know this is a dumb wuestion but how does how the humidifier help?

[jonnyXrice]

I much water do you filll up in the sponge? Im scared it might over humidify it,would it?

For a guitar, I've been using a 35mm plasic canister with several holes put in it and with a regular household sponge packed in it and dampened. I usually put it in the case instead of the inside body of the guitar.

Stupid question. what exactly does this do for the uke?
