During to some of my issues with new workspace and some of the "well know truth rules" I wanted to share some of the observations.
There is a lot of articles about humidity and it's importance for storing the guitars. Lot's of them advice some humidifiers but the truth is we have already some very good an natural solution for this issue - GET SOME FLOWERS - alot of small or even just a one, huge will solve the problem. Lately I was wondering about what made my previous workspace so perfect in a matter of 50% humidity. I've never used any humidifier and always (even on the winter, when the air is dry) had very close to 50% humidity value. Now when the winter came I have something like 30%. It's killer value for most instrument - mostly acoustics from solid wood (not the laminate). Sooo...I was thinking and thinking and I found it....Flowers. I had a lot of flowers in my previous workspace and I have absolutely none right now. So...what I'm gonna do i buy a few like this: I've went to the net to confirm what I suspect and I found flowers or little trees are best natural humidity regulators. Also consumes some toxic things from the air and make You overall home comfort increased. So if You care about Your instrument and You have some humidity problems then...BUY SOME FLOWERS and save your guitars from drying out. If You never though or read about humidity issues then You should do it right now Here is a short article. You might found a lot more, detailed information i the web. http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/11997 |

I was thinking about this thread again Darius, and I was wondering why you don't see flowers or plants in Guitar shops. Those Guitars are often hanging up in there for a few years aren't they? Maybe they would sell you a dried out Guitar and it would be too late to start looking after it in your house. How can you tell, apart from the obvious cracks in the woodwork? Yes - I'm also interested in learning about this. How can you identify a dried out guitar that needs more humid environment? I have a hollowbody guitar here but no plants so I'm getting worried. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
