The Clarinet BBoard

Even though you are moving to a place with high humidity, that doesn't mean that your abode or places within it will have the same high humidity. One function of Air Conditioning is to remove moisture from the air. A home with central air will have lower RHI than a home without it. Of course, you could be moving to an area where the RHI is high but air conditioning is not necessary & few homes/apartments in the area may have central air. Nevertheless, certain rooms in a home in an area with high RHI may have lower RHI readings. It just depends upon YOUR exact environment. It would probably be a good idea to get a gauge which will measure humidity. I bought my Digital RHI Gauge from Sears for about $15. Radio Shack & small electronics & home repair places sell them, too. FWIW: I think I would be more concerned about TARNISHING to silverplate (if applicable) in geographical areas where there is high RHI all year round. ex: Clarinets from South Florida have a "T" for their middle initial regardless of manufacturer. Good luck.
