The Humilele rests securely on top of the strings to safely and evenly hydrate your Ukulele to avoid these problems. Fits in all Soprano, Concert, Tenor Baritone Uke Soundholes. The overall width is 2" wide and it hangs below the strings 2" giving it plenty of room to fit in all soundholes. Our innovative Humid-i-Bar sponge holds a lot of water and has anti drip properties. This means less monitoring on your end while rest assured your fine Ukulele is being cared for. Time to check the Humilele? Easy! Pop the top, touch the Humid-i-Bar; if it's wet leave it, if dry, time to rehydrate. Rehydrating is a cinch - remove the Humid-i-Bar sponge, soak it in distilled water and you're back in action. Easy, no mess and low maintenance. That's MusicNomad quality, raising the bar in the equipment care industry.

This is an affordable and effective means to add humidity to an instrument case. I was only getting 35% humidity using two size 70 relative humidity pads. I added the Humilelel and it bumped up the humidity by 6 % to 41%. This is ideal for me. The Humilele is more affordable than the RH pads. The only downside is you need to regularly soak them in distilled water to rewet the sponge. This is not. a big deal since I play my instruments regularly. If you are in a cold dry climate make sure you protect your solid wood instrument. This product is a great start in that direction.

So easy to use! Just moisten the inner part with distilled water. I put the inner part in a small bowl with the distilled water and wait until the humidifier soaks up the water. It is easy to do several at a time with a bigger bowl. Squeeze out any extra water...you don't want it possibly dripping into your uke! Place the humidifier between the middle two stings of your uke when it is flat and not in use....and hopefully in a case. Monitor the moisture of the inner part every few days, especially if you live in a dry climate, or if it is winter and your home is being heated. This item is a gem.

Nice fit in uke; gave it 4 star because must let 'sponge' sock in water for about 1 min to get soft and full of water; other guitar devices I have are more like soft kitchen sponges; maybe the uke one keeps in more water, longer???? Easy pop up top; nice.

Wooden instruments, such as ukuleles, guitars, violins & such need good care. if they are not kept at the proper humidity level, the wood can dry & crack. That is the reason for products such as this.I got this for a mahogany soprano ukulele. It is the right size to rest between the strings when you store it. The sponge it uses is very dense, so it holds a respectable amount of water without dripping.2 things to keep in mind; 1)Only use distilled water, to reduce chances of mold formation. 2)This gadget is small, since ukes are small, so the sponge will need to be re-wetted about once a week. Check it regularly. Open the lid & feel the sponge. If it feels hard, it’s time to rehydrate it.It seems well-made, but I imagine the sponge won’t last forever. The bad news, is that the company doesn’t sell a Humilele sponge refill. The good news is that they do sell a refill for the Humitar- a larger sponge, of course. I contacted the company & was advised to get one of those, when I need a refill & cut it into 3 pieces. Simple enough solution.Also, this is pretty modestly priced & well worth it to keep a musical instrument in good condition.

I love these humidifiers. What like is that they open to test the dryness of the sponge and so you can remove the sponge. The sponge gets very hard if it is completely dry. I have on of these in all of my solid wood and solid top ukuleles. It takes a little while to get the sponge completely soaked. This is especially true if you let is dry to the degree that is gets hard again. I resoak mine twice a week.

I gave it a second chance and sure glad I did. My vintage Martin ukulele is quite happy now. And I’m extremely pleased!Alright, so I bought this the first time and used it on the said vintage Martin. My hygrometer has been reading 28% and it was of a concern as humidity has never dropped this low before. I went ahead and first used the humilele and I noticed that the finish on the sides started to check/ crack. Afraid of more damage, I removed it. I tried humidifying the room instead. I humidified the room for a week to about 50% which should be optimal, but no further changes on the uke. It just kept drying. I’ve even started to notice my frets going sharp on the edges. Being desperate to find a solution for my drying vintage instrument, I gave this humilele another chance. I carefully added distilled water to it and made sure it was damp- not dripping and not squeezed out completely- but there’s a fine balance to it. (Perhaps during the first time I’ve used it, I had left a bit too much water and a sudden change had checked the finish.) So be careful! I put the humilele in the case with a hygrometer first without the ukulele to make sure that it has the right % of humidity. And when I observed it was at 40% and at a constant, I put the humilele in the sound hole of the uke and left it in the case. I wish I had gotten a picture of the uke prior to putting it in with the humilele to show the severity of it. The top had sunken in significantly when I put a straight edge across it, and you can clear as day see the signs of a dry instrument. The top was sunken in at about 1/16 which is plenty. I left the humilele on the uke overnight and the changes were drastic when I checked the uke in the morning. I put a straightedge across the top again and it’s nearly perfect.I also added a DIY humidifier near the headstock compartment to help with the dry board too. Great wonders!

I don’t understand the people who are posting pics of moldy sponges. As instructed in the description on Amazon, on the box and on the little plastic sponge holder itself, use distilled water. Use distilled water! Possibly they live in much more humid environments… in which case they probably don’t need these anyway. Living in high and dry Colorado, these are working pretty good for me. I can’t get the instruments above about 43% (hygrometer reading) but the humidity levels at my house can be as low as 20-25%, so I think these are doing a good job. I do use ukulele hard cases for best results. Starting today I will be using 2/case with one of them up at the neck. Trying to help the fret boards.They are simple to use, do not leak water and last about 7 days before needing to be wetted again. No big deal. When I get them out to play them, it’s simple to check the sponge.

An absolute requirement for people living in places like Utah with quality wood instruments. Repairing your dried out ukulele, will be MUCH more costly than getting this and rewetting every 5-7 days.

I purchased a number of humitars for acounstic guitars; however, when it came to my OVATION, they would not fit in the sound hole. This option was suggested by MusicNomad and it works fine for me. Whether or not it actually provides the moisture to the guitar itself is something that time will tell, but, having seen them in all music stores in the sound holes of many acoustics, I have to believe they will work.ADDED INFO: While very pleased with its fit into the sound hole of my OVATION, I was still left with the need to humidfy my Fender American Pro II Strat case. Two of these little gems, stuck to the side of the case with green painter tape, one by the machine head and the other at the body of the guitar and, bingo. Very pleased as this was a recommendation made by the folks at MusicNomad.

Never used one of these before but was advised to get one when I got my new Ukulele. They are small and neat . It is surprising how dry your uke can get and this humidifier works really well. Would recommend.

Anche per chitarre da viaggio (Martin Backpacker, Washburn Rover) come nel mio caso, non solo per ukulele.

für eine Naturholz- offenporige Gitarre...die Feuchtigkeitsschutz"zu jeder Jahreszeit braucht. Naturholz hat das Bestreben, sich zu"dehnen, sich zusammenzuziehen, und bei Nichtbehandlung zu"reissen"...Alles das lässt sich vermeiden, durch ein Feuchtigskeit-Humidifier...wo man das Schwämmchen eben "feucht hält" und insGitarrenschall-Loch einhängt. Ein Thermometer mit "Luftfeuchtig-keits- Anzeige, bei "trockener Luft"..Sommer wie Winter unter 40 %Luftfeuchte, z.B. bei Heizungsluft im Winter 30 % und weniger...ist sehr hilfreich"...Und beugt bei regelmässiger Anwendung Schädenan der Holz-Gitarre vor...Hier bei dem Modell kann man den Deckel aufmachen und kontrollieren alle 2-bis 3 Tage Schwämmchen nassfeuchthalten und einhängen.... 5 Sterne in jedem Fall....
