Moist, the impact of musical instruments 

 

Musical instruments, can play a wonderful melody note, it carries the players musical ideas with music 

listener yearning; good instrument to better the performance of the performers mood and music  

shocking, but in the storage instrument, many music lovers often encounter bad problem to solve. As at 

the time of the wet season, wood instrument, should be stored humidity less than 50% RH, more than  

40% RH or more storage environment, the wet season very humid environment space, wood instrument  

will inevitably be damaged by moisture, especially in the back South-day or rainy season frequent, if not  

maintained for a long time once the instrument is wet. The sound cello, violin, guitar is not as suitable for 

the performance of humidity, brightness decreases treble, bass becomes dull; wood instrument in a damp  

environment, due to the adsorption of a greater amount of moisture in the air, the weight increase, the  

hardness is somewhat reducing the volume of grain will increase lateral; even some instrument panel  

deformation, these conditions will affect the wooden instrument sounds. 



Wet stable temperature, moisture-proof anti-deformation

Due to frequent changes in environmental temperature and humidity, the humidity level of the day and  

even differ by more than 40% RH or more, wood instrument also because of moisture in the air caused by  

changes in "swelling shrinkage" if severe damp, wet or dried in a short time is not serious balance, not only  

affects the sound of the instrument, and even musical instruments produce permanent deformation  

damage. Therefore, instruments need to be stored in a very stable humidity environment, in order to  

maintain the stability of the instrument. 

 

Therefore, for instruments moisture, to be placed in a controlled humidity is relatively average storage  

space, electronic moisture cabinet is a good choice, it can be at any time automatically according to humidity 

and dehumidification cabinet humidity, so keep the cabinet a relatively constant for the humidity.
