Understanding and knowledge of the facts about humidity is what Meteorologists called "Relative humidity." this ability, applies the air take in water or keep or the air surrounding dry objects to contain the humidity.
The best or perfect level of moisture for a guitar changes from one instrument to another, subject to the humidity situations in the workshop or factory collected the guitar.
Installed the humidity at the time that was the instrument set primary dimensions of their guitar. This configuration of dimension is permanently sealed in the entire structure when it fit. Therefore, when moisture changes, each component will expand or collapse unevenly and the dimensions of the guitar structure remain uniformly constant.
The most frustrating is problem in the care and maintenance of a high-quality guitar wood tendency either expand or contract with moisture changes. Damage which reached require costly repairs changes since high-quality guitars are made from solid wood with moisture. These guitars sound compared are too expensive the less instruments is superior. Solid Woods but are your tendency to expand on the basis of or decrease very vulnerable to changes in humidity.
"Waterlogged" sound from your guitar indicates high humidity; there is no projection and have a seest and wet sound volume. The guitar can also structurally damaged by high humidity.
Usually "bloating" a problem on the back is most especially if the back of the guitar of extremely hard wood - especially rosewood. The glue on the brace is updated with the expansion of wood caused edge this problem to solve.
When a guitar in the basement, a problem is caused by intensive humidity, the appearance of wood deterioration,
The issues that are due to extremely low humidity levels or heavy. Excessive loss of moisture in the wood makes the sound of the guitar brittle and some point stress on the wood due to uneven shrinkage cracks results.
Here are ways to control the humidity.
1. Observe your guitar closely. Check always so often so you can watch for signs of damage of humidity. Watch your back; if there is a drop in humidity it will fall a little and you can see this clearly. If moisture increases back to grow an arc. When the back is very, very flat, insert that some moisture, as place such as a Court of water in your storage area.
2. Save your guitar in his case away from any heat in winter. Keep if it is flat on the floor and never leave the lean or hang on the wall.
3. During periods when the humidity is extremely high, hold your guitar in a room is air conditioned, as it dries out the air.
If not too hot outside conditions are such as spring or on a rainy day, keep your instrument in a warm room, but avoid Keller how it much cool to.
4. There are many devices available to handle extreme to dryness. If low humidity occurs during chilly or cold weather in your area, the use of a furnace can be mounted humidifier very effective and easy.
There are also console humidifier who, rotate belts which are very efficient and space efficient suited if your space is limited.
"Dampit," is a very effective product that absorb within the guitar, moisture, within your guitar is placed is.
A guitar, which now has a good sound can be a wonderful sounding guitar still ten years later, when it right and carefully maintained.
The guitar sound is created by the echo of wood. If the wood matures the ECHO will improve quality, increase their guitar value. Make this and the model and a guitar style, no longer produced is potentially much more value (often many times your purchase price) in 15-50 years.
Only please note that a good quality guitar is an investment value your problems.
