I also bought the hygrocase and I thoguht it was a bad use of 65$. For me, it was the same as leaving my reeds in the clarinet case. I felt the whole thing to be cheap quality and not worth it. I dropped it one time and it broke immediately. I still had warped reeds that were in that box. (my climate is northeast PA so it can get around 0 in the winter (F) and as much as about 90 in the summer.) I also doubted the humidity guage was accurate. I just had that feeling. If Kathy says it works in her case then I beleive it. For some reason it just didn't work for me.
