Would you consider a Tupperdor?

Sistema 1870: $20

  • Check locally, Target or Home Goods might have this for less.
  • Any of the Sistema containers are good options. They have clamps and a gasket in the lid to make sure the container stays airtight. Choose the one that fits your needs or a similar product. The 1870 will hold around 80 cigars.

    Boveda Packs: $17

  • Choose the pack that is right for you. Personally I like 65%.
  • If you go with a different size container, you might need to adjust how many packs you get. Remember to get the number of packs per the capacity of the container, not how many cigars are currently in the container. This page will help you determine how many packs you will need.

    Digital Hygrometer: HygroSet II - $14 or Caliber IV - $24

  • Any correctly callibrated digital hygrometer will work.
  • I have both of the above and they are good options

    Spanish Cedar Trays: $13

  • These are not needed, however work well for organization
  • Plastic trays will also work.
  • If you choose a different container, make sure the trays fit.

Not a stupid question at all. They make all sorts but here is an example small instrument case humidifier
Gibson’s are really nice so I’m assuming this instrument is probably worth something so definitely get something for it especially in the winter. Summer and spring it doesn’t matter much unless you live in a really dry area. Good luck with everything!

I've used one of these for awhile with no issues.

I hear these Boveda humidity packs are pretty good . Haven't used them yet myself, but I'm thinking about trying them.

u/derpamine420 · 2 pointsr/Cello

I have one similar to this http://www.amazon.com/Kolstein-Secretary-Black-Cello-Bib/dp/B00438PNWA it looks a little different though- the design is on the right hand side of the pocket. I bought it like 5 years ago so it probably changed. I used it to play at summer festivals when it was hot and my sweat was getting on the corner of my cello ahhaha. It worked really well for that.

Edit: it was this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Kolstein-Cello-Bib-Brown-/271732069504?hash=item3f447e5480:g:GRYAAOSwg3FUqy~p

u/Mojofrodo_26 · 2 pointsr/violinist

I had this problem- Tried peg paste?

Also, I know it's simple but make sure you've wound the string the correct way on the peg. When I went back to it I'd forgotten how to change them it'd been so long and wound them on wrong.

Thanks! So something like this ?

u/--yy · 1 pointr/IndianEnts

You're best bet is this: https://www.amazon.in/Boveda-Large-Humidipak-62-Pack/dp/B00TU03HU6

Better than silica cus it won't dry it out. The 62% is ideal but if you can't get that get a close enough %. 2 way humidity maintenance is key.

u/GoFlyAChimera · 1 pointr/violinist

I've used a Dampit with success. Your results may vary... You may also consider putting a small hygrometer in your case if you don't already to try to find your violin's happy place.

u/DemarcoGronkowski · 1 pointr/rosin

Thanks I think I'll get some Boveda packs but what "gram" pack would I use if I am using 1 quart jars?

like https://www.amazon.com/Boveda-Humidity-Humidors-Humidifier-Dehumidifier/dp/B00TU03HU6?th=1

says "67 gram pouch" - what size pouch would I need per 1 quart jar?

u/RoadBehindWorldAhead · 1 pointr/violinist

Yes I third a humidifier. I live in a state with very humid summers and very very cold (-14) winters full of snow. I use a dampit humidifier

Tell him you no longer need him in the band, then get some of this: http://www.amazon.com/Players-Products-MPK10-Microphome-Care/dp/B002R6O22W
