Re: The most appropriate Clarinet temperature & humudity

Just my opinion....

I have a "music room" where I keep my guitars and violin and clarinet. I try to maintain 45-50% humidity. In the winter that can be a challenge when it's really cold. Right now in Ottawa it's -26C (-15 Fahrenheit). The humidity device on my furnace is turning full time but it's not always enough so I have a portable room size humidifier that I use when it's dry. For temp I maintain 68-70F.
I keep the clarinet in the case, and the case is left open usually, or lid down but not latched. I want the air to circulate around it after playing.

I think 67% RH is on the high side. For a day or 2 it wouldn't pose a problem. But if left at that level for a longer period my guitars would not be playable. Don't know how my clarinet would react. I have never done that experiment.
