It's bad for my acoustic guitar if the humidity isn't at least 30%, and a little higher would be better, maybe around 40.
I have a humidifier sponge thingie that I put into my guitar case, but I have no way of knowing what the humidity is inside the case. The humidity in my apartment is a measly 11 to 13 percent. I try putting the hygrometer in the guitar case and then opening it, but it shows just 17%. That's not enough, if that's even accurate. So maybe I need to just humidify my place and get it up to between 30 and 40%.
I don't want to have to use distilled water. I hope I can find something that I can just put tap water into. It also has to be safe for a cat.
I'm finding a bunch of humidifiers on Walmarts web page that are reasonably affordable. How do I know if one of them will humidify the place enough?
