Re: Case hygrometers

If you can spend the big bucks, the Lomax HumidiPro case is the way to go http://www.lomaxclassic.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=74.

The cases contain what looks like a small humidimeter, which a Google search shows at $10 and under. Perhaps Lomax or one of the users of his cases will tell you which make is good.

I've had little luck with Dampits, which don't hold enough water. For years, I've wetted and thoroughly wrung out two paper towels and laid them over the clarinets when I close the case. They hold enough moisture for overnight, but not enough to encourage mold.

Ed Palanker recommends keeping reeds in a humidifier. See his site for details.
