D'Addario Accessories Small Instrument Humidifier

I like that it doesn't leak out water. Remember you must wring it out some, don't fill it totally up, or your instrument may get wet. Good cost, doesn't take up much room. Should last a while in my little nieces violin case. Thanks. Kem. 10/21/24

When I purchased my new violin, my Dampit himidifier wouln't fit in the F-holes, so I needed to find something for the case. This was perfect! The D'Addario Small Instrument Humidifier is the perfect size for my case, and the Velcro included with it keeps it attached inside my case securely. It arrived quickly and does what it is needed to do! I actually recommend it over a Dampit (no risk of damaging your instrument). I highly recommend this humidifier!

Probably the best portable mini humidifier. I would ditch the Velcro 'spots' included in favor of heavier duty Velcro from the hardware store, but otherwise effective, and holds water well - even in the dry climate I live in. Use with a between the strings humidifier, and your protected.

I have a few of these Planet Waves Small Instrument Humidifier. They are a good size for the ukuleles that I use them for. They fit easily into any case. I have some in the headstock area, and some in the body area. I am not sure if location makes any difference (probably not).They are fairly idiot-proof, which I like. I use them in conjunction with Herco clay humidifiers. I soak the glorified-sponge once a week in water for about 10-15 minutes. I live in Arizona so that is probably more frequent than others may.Overall, they're a good product. They're easy and they do what they're supposed to do, which I like. Sure you could make your own version, but the price is not too bad on these.

I used this in two electric guitar cases to raise the humidity from around 38% to 50%, as I was noticing sharp fret ends. One case has a semi hollow guitar and the other is solid body. The semi hollow’s case interior is more open and allows the moisture to disperse more easily (but with more volume, it is increasing in humidity at a slower pace) but both are working well. These did not change the climate instantly but they do work, given time and patience. I used this humidifier for electric guitars - which is not what they are advertised for. I liked how gradual these are for that reason, so I don’t overdue it and oxidize the hardware and pickup covers.

The top pops off, ended up taping it closed. I thought about sending it back, but didn't want to go thru the hassle of returning it.

I use these for my solid wood mandolins. I run wood heat in the winter so it can get really dry indoors. Ideally I'll have 2 of these in each case to maintain 45%-50% relative humidity in the case. One under the peg head and one in the gap under the heel of the neck. This works for most hard shell cases, but for something as tight fitting as a Collings-branded TK case you'll need something smaller under the heel of the neck, like a film canister with a sponge in it and holes drilled in the lid. Or a thin violin humidifer that can go in the F holes.

I use these in my Ukulele cases. I travel by air a ton. The super dry environment is not friendly to wood. I put one by the headstock and another by the body in my hard cases and have never had a problem with instruments getting dry. They are not as flexible as some of the super expensive wet and dry humidity control devices but for me these are the perfect solution. Humidify your wood instruments especially when traveling or they dry out, break and die. For the price of these you can protect your Uke without stressing your wallet.
