Ed, I'll leave the humidity for instruments to others, but will comment on the electronics (as an old hardware designer). Almost everything electronic nowadays is made with integrated circuits in sealed chips mounted on circuit board with connecting lands that are also sealed. The solder points are the only thing exposed to moisture. That doesn't mean you can dunk them in the bathtub, but atmospheric moisture should have no effect.
