I make it a practice, if I haven't played the instrument for awhile, to
breathe on the outside alternately with playing a bit. The idea is to
increase the humidity of the wood on both the outside and inside
simultaneously, and thus avoid differential expansion. This I do especially
during the dry winter months.
