Actually, David, I didn't write that. Another contributor did. But your point is very well taken, unless, of course, the case contains one of those little humidifiers you soak in H2O.
Does anyone recommend them? _____ From: David Rastall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 10, 2007 10:03 AM To: Stephen W.

The same sort of argument applies to humidity: the air in the case is the same as that in the room outside it. So hanging the lute on the wall does not necessarily expose the lute to more or less humidity than it it would get in its case.
