Tube diameter is 8 mm at its thickest. Included humidity indicator card helps monitor the humidity inside your case.Why use a humidifier?The winter months will bring colder and drier air which can be dangerous for instruments and bows. String instruments are made of wood, and wood absorbs and releases moisture as humidity levels change in the surrounding air. Dry air causes wood to release moisture which causes it to shrink and/or shift ever so slightly, which can lead to cracks and expensive repair bills. Of course, most instruments will not crack, but as your instrument dries out, its tone will change, and seldom does it change for the better! Bow horsehair shrinks in dry air which can impair sound quality or cause the bow to warp. It could even result in a disastrous bow tip break. Purchasing a relatively inexpensive humidifier will protect your investment and allow you to sound your best.
