Humidifiers for Fretted Instruments

Almost every guitar is designed and constructed in a controlled environment. Of course, once that guitar leaves the factory, it's up to the owner to keep it in a place where it's protected from any sudden changes in temperature. This is why humidifiers for fretted instruments are so important. These essential devices are designed specifically to regulate the humidity of your instrument. Humidifiers will prevent warps and cracks in your instrument so that it continues to look, sound and play its best.

On today's music market, you'll find that humidifiers for fretted instruments come in a variety of styles. One of the more common types is called a sound-hole humidifier, and as you've probably guessed, it's placed in the sound-hole of your guitar. For a perfect example, check out the Oasis OH-1 Original Guitar Humidifier. This sound-hole model is made of specially designed fabric that allows water vapor to pass through it, and as the vapor transmission occurs, a vacuum is created. This leads to the Oasis shrinking to make up for the loss of water so you know when it's ready to be refilled. No doubt, the Oasis OH-1 is a top-rated item for obvious reasons: it's easy to install, long-lasting and highly effective.

Case humidifiers are also a very popular type. As the name suggests, they sit in your case, usually placed under the headstock.
