Protecting your instrument in dry, winter weather:
If you live in a colder climate, during the winter months — or whenever the furnace is running — it is important to add humidity to your case. This will not only make your instrument sound better, but will help to protect it against drying out and cracking or opening up. It is easy to put a Humitron, Dampit or other tube-type humidifier in the F-hole. Make a simple and free humidifier for the case from a 35-mm film container with 4-5 holes punched into it. Place a small sponge inside, soak it in water and put the lid on. For 'Cellists, we suggest several Tube-type humidifiers and several film-cans and a tightly sealed case for maximum protection.
