is it time to stop using a humidifier yet? It's getting hot here in NY.

I assume the humidity control is to protect your wood clarinet(s). It is not so much a function of time of year as it is the humidity in the room you keep your instrument and/or practice. If the relative humidity (invest in an inexpensive hygrometer to measure) in that room is consistently about 45% or higher you should do not need to add humidity. Good luck.

The best way to know is to use a hygrometre all year round. Many violinist do this to keep humidity (adding silicagel if too humid, and orange peels if too dry).
It might work for the clarinet ?

I recently bought a new violin case for my sister-in-law. I discovered that many cases come with a hygrometer built into the interior. Maybe it's time to get or make a case like that for the clarinet. Only thing is you have to check it and adjust the humidity as needed. If you ever set your horn aside for a week or so that hygrometer won't do you any good.
