This will certainly prove an interesting discussion, as there would appear to be no end of controversy surrounding the subject and one reads opinions from reputable individuals on both ends of the spectrum.
My Loree when transplanted from Chicago to Philadelphia cracked almost immediately and I was instructed by my local repair guy (Mallarsky) to put a small humidifier in my case during the winter months. This gadget prevented any recurrence of problems with the Loree and also kept my Yamaha professional model -- an instrument notorious for crack problems -- free of cracks for the three years I owned it.
I just started playing on a Howarth XL in April, so this will be a critical couple of months for it, but I plan on sticking with the "humidifier/routine-care" technique and hope for the best. (Howarth I believe recommends periodic oiling of the bore --

Just my thoughts.
