Re: Case hygrometers

Am I the only one on this BBD who thinks that keeping the case humidity significantly lower or higher than the ambient humidity is asking for trouble when you move an instrument in and out of the case? Seems so.

Yet as any woodworker knows, abruptly moving a piece of unsealed wood from a high humidity or high temperature environment to a low one, or the other way around, stresses the wood and encourages cracking. (One reason why green lumber is sealed on the ends to minimize rapid drying.)

Anyway, this is one of those perennial topics on the board, and I keep mentioning this...perennially. But everyone needs a hobby.
