My favorite guitar is stored out in the open on a stand. My other guitars are in cases. Is this the right humidifier for me?

This humidifier works fine in a case to get humidity in the guitar quickly; although I use this one at times in one of my older guitars, I tend to use HumidiPak (also sold by Amazon.com) to keep the case at about 47 percent humidity at all times. If a guitar sits open, the room needs to be in the right humidity range -- this particular product would likely dry quickly in an open room (unless you are in a very humid area.

This is meant to be used with the guitar in the case. I have humidifiers running by my guitars that are out of their cases.

I have one of these for every acoustic guitar I own. Cold winters make for low humidity. They have all worked perfectly for me. Completely gets rid of fret buzz! Just a note: I used to keep my guitars on stands for ease of playing and just showing them off - Bad Choice! Do yourself a favor and KEEP ALL YOUR GUITARS IN CASES unless you are playing them. Hope this helps............ John

It might! This humidifier is made for acoustic guitars. Another trick. Replace the sponge with micro-fiber cloth! The cloth stays wet twice as long as the sponge.

Any ukulele, guitar, etc. that is solid wood may crack or split if the air in your home is too dry. Your Mele might be able to be repaired, however. I have read that if you live in a dry climate or have dry heat in your home, it is best to keep your instrument inside a case and to use a humidifier with it. For a ukulele, Oasis makes a nice humidifier. You have to add water to it, but that is not a big deal especially if it keeps your instrument from splitting. The Cordoba is a nice little uke for that price but it, too, could split if gets too dry. Good luck with your Mele. There used to be a video on the Taylor Guitar site that showed a cracked guitar being fixed so it might be possible your little friend can be saved. I hope this is helpful to you.

Yes, there is plenty room for that. I thought I would do the same however, I really haven't felt the need for the humidifier.

This humidifier is great for laminated and solid guitars in case, soft case and gig bags. Bring a great sound to your guitar.

Hi there , actually you only want to use the humidipaks with an acoustic guitar . Electric guitars can can withhold against the elements better than an acoustic . If possible , you should still have a room for your instruments where you can monitor the humidity & maybe use a small vaporizer & a hergometer . Hope this helps :-)

No. The tank capacity does not hold more than 12-15 min. of steam and not designed to work as a room humidifier.

There are two components that are used. The humidipaks a are placed into two different shaped fabric sleeves. One is placed in the case under the headstock and that one is left there. The other is placed over the strings and into the sound hole when guitar is stored, and then removed before playing. A little care is needed when positioning the humidipak sleeve over the strings and into the sound hole, but I think it is one if the simplistic, and most foolproof of the humidity control devices I've seen that are available.

You will need to buy the humidipaks with the storage sleeves, then you will only have to buy the refills. As long as you use the humidipaks in their storage sleeves, you can store guitar flat or on its side. I typically store mine on its side (in the case). Have been using the humidipak so for about a year now and have not noticed any problems storing the guitar flat or on its side.

Yes and Yes! I love this humidifier and use it in my bedroom. You may notice a slight hissing but that's too be expected with a warm mist humidifier. I find it to be rather soothing too. It's also sleek and isn't an eyesore. I shopped around quite sometime before settling on this one and I'm glad I did.

Certainly. Most users would probably use it on an acoustic since they typically have more solid woods rather than laminates. But excessive dryness can affect any guitar, particular on the fretboard of electrics. All guitars would benefit from these. Best to have an inexpensive humidity meter in the case.

I would not use it as a humidifier. While it does put a small amount of water into the air, the real purpose is to diffuse essential oils. We live in Utah (a high mountain desert) and in the winter use a humidifier as well as our diffuser. If your intent is to add moisture to the air, I would get a humidifier. However, some people will use the humidifier and place Vicks in the reservoir to help with breathing. If that's your intent, then this diffuser and essential oils will work much, much, much better.

Technically yes - but the amount of water released in the air is something like a quarter cup of water (if that) over 3 hour period, so I'm not sure if it is an " effective" humidifier.

I have no idea what your problem could be as I am on my second one and have not had any problems with it making my night stand wet. It does make my hair and my covers a little wet because I like to have it very close to my face so that is to be expected. Other than that, I have had absolutely no problems with this humidifer. Perhaps it needs to be replaced.

I agree with Stuart Uggen's answer. My humidifier is made with a little place for the Pro Tec unit in the water tank, and it works well with my water supply.

I would return it. Mine worked well for about 3 days and started doing it. It hasn't worked since. It seems like a lot of people are having issues with these humidifiers.
