Re: The most appropriate Clarinet temperature & humudity

I heard the same thing from the repair guy at my local guitar shop. He was really negative about Dampits because characteristically we let them get dry as a bone, then soak them & put them back in the case; his feeling was the sudden introduction of so much humidity could cause a guitar to crack.

I haven't yet found that to be the case (har har) with my 2 guitars, which stay in cases (with Dampits, which I am not terribly religious about keeping damp) all winter. No cracks yet by the way. I have little case humidifiers (can never remember the name, but YOU know: those little plastic tubes with cotton in one end & a knob that you turn that supposedly controls humidity) which seems to keep the wood humidified enough to keep the rings tight.

Hope this is useful.
