How about room humidifiers? We have a piano, an organ, a violin, a clarinet,
and a classical guitar, and we started to use a humidifier for the music room.
It keeps it at about 22% humidity. This was suggested by the piano tuner, who
said that if the air gets too dry we can have problems with the piano sound
board. I think as long as we use that, the other instruments can just stay out
in the open, and benefit from it. Am I wrong?
