Stretto Humidifier for Violin, Viola and Small Instruments Review

Stretto Humidifier for Violin, Viola and Small Instruments

I tried this humidifier for my daughter's 1/4 size violin because I couldn't find a small enough dampit style humidifier for her size. This is basically a clam shell style case which opens up to reveal a small package of dry granules. The idea is that you soak the bag in distilled water (I personally used tap water and it worked fine) and it swells up to a nice plump sac of gel which you place in side the clam case. The humidity from the water filled gel should exit through the holes of the case, thus humidifying your instrument. It lasts a long time, maybe a week or two before needing to wet it again. It of course depends on how dry your climate is. Very easy to use. The only problem is , if you have a small instrument case, you will have to figure out where to stick the stretto without causing friction/scratches to your violin. I placed ours near the edge where nothing would contact it.

Swiss-made Stretto system gradually and evenly releases humidity over time with easy to use microfiber hydration pouches. Perforated container attaches with Velcro to the inside of the case, or store in case pocket.

Oasis OH-6 Case Humidifier Review

I have the Oasis in-case model, it works superbly well. I monitored the humidity with a in-case hydrometer for several weeks, the Oasis keeps the humidity at about 10% higher than the actual room level (if the room is at 39% humidity, the humidity inside the guitar case stays steady at 49%). Of course, the humidity levels will depend on how dry your local climate is. The humidifier has crystals that swell up with water and maintain the moisture much longer that the average guitar humidifier. After the initial fill it took a good two weeks before adding more distilled water. What's cool is that once the humidifier begins to dry it shrivels up, so it's obvious when more water is needed. The in-case model has a magnetic strip and metal clip that fits nicely on the side of the case, no problems at all with leakage, this system is very well designed and extremely highly quality. I highly recommend it for fine jazz archtop and classical guitars. Dear Oasis, thank you for your innovative design.

The humidifier that let's you see when it's ready to refill. Oasis works by allowing water to evaporate through the fabric. This is an advantage since, unlike other guitar or violin humidifiers, you can easily see Oasis is ready for refill. Unless the cap is opened, outside air cannot get in to replace the evaporated water. The vacuum created by this process causes the fabric to shrink inward indicating that it's time for a refill with the included refilling syringe. It has two small neodymium magnets located inside the seam making it easy to attach to your case by using the included clip or sticky back steel strip. It works with any string instrument case.

Planet Waves Micro-Fiber Polish Cloth Review

This cloth is much thicker than the cloths that come with eyeglasses, which is why it can be used for polishing. It has a nice texture and feel, is well made with stitching around the edges that cheaper cloths lack, and works well for polishing.
It also works nicely to remove smudges and fingerprints from my BlackBerry and iPod Touch, and to clean my glasses and computer screen.
This is a quality cloth that is very useful.

The Planet Waves Micro-Fiber polishing cloth acts like a magnet for dust, dirt, and oils, and lasts considerably longer than ordinary cloths. Woven from microscopic fibers, the Planet Waves Micro-Fiber Cloth is 10 times finer than silk, up to 30 times finer than cotton, and 100 times finer than a human hair. The fibers are woven into masses of tiny "hooks & loops" which cut through stains, attracting and absorbing dirt, smudges, and microparticles that ordinary cloths cannot reachor remove.Best of all, the Micro-Fiber polishing cloth needs only minimal polish or no polish at all!
