I also don't bother.

What concerns me isn't keeping the humidity in a certain range, but rather making sure that there are no abrupt changes, like what happens when you move an instrument from a humidified case into a dry environment.

Same holds true for abrupt temperature changes.

Sixty years playing. About ten clarinets in blackwood, rosewood, and mopane. One cracked bell shortly after purchase. I think what I'm doing (or not doing) works.

(I don't humidify reeds either.)
