The Humistat is found at http://www.humistat.com and shipping is free.

http://www.humistat.com/prod01frame.htm for Clarinet. To me it is the hands
down best way to add humidity to the Clarinet.
Completely blows away the dampit as it releases humidity much slower so that

it doesn't dry out daily and holds many times more water in it.

I do not even know who owns the Humistat manufacturer. On the other hand, I
do know that if you put TWO humistats inside a fairly new clarinet case and
set them at the full open position, the humidity inside the case will
typically be between 45-50% as measured by a calibrated hygrometer also kept
inside the case. The water in the humistats will last for about a week
before they need to be refilled. [I use humistats in the cases of about a
dozen clarinets, and the results are pretty much the same.]
