5309

Price: 36.49 PLN

Humitrons are made of the most advanced material available. The tubes were custom extruded of the finest non-vinyl an non-allergenic resin, soft enough to exert pressure around the F-holes / sound-holes and sufficiently sturdy to minimize contact with the inside parts of an instrument. Our water-suction stems within the Humitrons absorb water ten times of their weight and the slowly release it through the holes.

To determine whet to use Humitron, listen to your local weather forecasters. When the humidity falls below 50% it is time to use Humitron by simply submersing it in *water for several seconds, and while removing it wipe the excess water off and place Humitron inside your instrument. Also bear in mind that the driest months are in the winter season and in the places where rain falls are low and temperatures are high. We do not offer any colour changing type moisture indicators since they only function on a relative humidity scale and become totally obsolete when the air is saturated 90% with water.

* Try to use distilled water when soaking the Humitron since one rich in minerals will gradually diminish effectiveness of the water absorption stem

How to Use the Dampit

Optimum 45% to 55% humidity
Follow DAMPIT humidity indicator directions carefully.

(2) Pinch end of DAMPIT to remove excess water. Gently wipe outer tube dry. Place inside instrument. When DAMPIT is nearly dry repeat the above process.

(3) The DAMPIT humidity indicator will show the percentage of humidity of your room. The numbered spots on the left will change color as the humidity changes. If the segments are all pink the humidity is over 50%. Determine the percentage of humidity by choosing the numbered spot most closely matching the color of the background panel on the right. Take the reading for your instrument at the point where there is a division between light pick and light blue.

(4) The DAMPIT may remain inside the instrument while it is played. There will be no tonal loss.

(5) Store your instrument in the coolest part of the room away from radiators and heat registers.

(6) Use DAMPIT only during dry weather or central heating periods.
