A guitar, or any other stringed musical
instrument made of wood, is at risk of cracking when the
relative humidity drops below 40%. The Oasis® Digital
Hygrometer accurately measures relative humidity and can
help you decide when to use your Oasis® Guitar Humidifier.
Because relative humidity varies greatly, even inside your
home, we recommend that you keep your hygrometer close to
your instrument.
 To
get an accurate humidity reading for the guitar body, we
recommend that you first lay the guitar case with the back
to the floor and open the cover. Take a small piece of cloth
and place it under the hygrometer to avoid scratching the
top of your guitar. Put the hygrometer on the guitar top
with the sensor at the edge of the sound hole. Close the
case and allow 4-6 hours for the humidity to stabilize. Open
the case and look at the reading within a few seconds and
you get the humidity reading that existed just before you
opened the case.
Because the Oasis humidifier
will somewhat distort the humidity reading, take readings
with the Oasis humidifier in place and take readings
without the Oasis humidifier. A well humidified
guitar in its case will have relatively stable humidity
readings, so you don’t have to measure the humidity all the
time.
Since the hygrometer is not secured,
take special care NOT to move the case while the hygrometer
is in this position.
