Yes, @Cadgirl ; 30% is that middle ground that “probably” won’t hurt. But no one wants to hear “probably” when it comes to their guitar. And it definitely depends on how long. 30% for a couple weeks? No worries. 30% for several months. No, that’s gonna be bad. So yeah, you want to bring that up to at least 40%.
Humidifiers just crank out steam, but dehus actually measure the humidity and try to keep it at a certain point. So maybe run the humidifier and the dehu at the same time? Maybe that would keep the room at 50%? I don’t know. Or maybe just use the dehu to measure and you turn the humidifier on and off as needed? Or did you say you have something that measures the humidity?
I would think, though I don’t know for sure, that a basement would be easier to regulate and wouldn’t get as dry. But I guess you’re gonna be the expert by the end of the winter. I don’t have to worry about things where I live. Low humidity here is 40%. And though it gets up to 95% occasionally, it’s never for long.
