Humidifiers???

For a few dollars more than an Oasis can't you just buy a real humidifier? I got a Holmes for like $23 at Sears and it even came with a hydrometer.

What has worked best for me, since I have more than one instrument and a reasonably small room to keep them in, is to use a room humidifier. I use an 8 gallon Bemis floor model that was about $100 at Costco. It takes up little floor space, is pretty quiet, and has a humidistat; I set it at 45% and it will run until the humidity reaches that.

I'm in a semi-arid region, and the dampit-type soundhole units dry out in a couple of days. I used to used to use homemade humidifiers in my cases, which stayed moist longer, but resulted in big swings in humidity as I wet them, then they dried, etc.

Good to know--I had considered getting a room humidifier, but I wasn't sure if the lesser expensive models would be worth it or if it would be better to save up.
