A simple, home-made humidifier can be constructed from sponge and a plastic film case. Drill or punch holes (I use 3/16" or 1/4" bit) in the film case, in the upper 2/3s of the film case. Cut a piece of sponge to fit inside the film case and insert the sponge. Fill it with or soak it in water,

I've been using the Kyser "Lifegaurd" guitar humidifier. This is really something that's supposed to go in an acoustic guitar's sound hole, (it is too big for my classical guitar) but I just stick it under the strings directly on the rose. It works on my instruments, but it might be too thick

Living in South Florida this seems a quaint idea, but when growing up in Connecticut our house had trays built into the tops of the radiator enclosures. Filling these with water every few days during the winter kept the air humidified. But I suppose today there are more efficient heating metho

Any music store will probably carry the type of humidifiers made to fit into the sound holes of cellos or violins (basically a perforated plastic tube with a sponge inside). I use one of these and simply place it in the peg box area of the case. I've also tried a kitchen sponge in a baggie, (w

Everyone is familiar with the idea of strong and weak beats. I remember reading that, at some historical time and place, these were called "good and bad beats" (perhaps not in English). Any info on this? One should perhaps mention that there have been three concepts around, which got, as usual
