Music Nomad MN302 Humilele Ukulele Humidifier
Music Nomad’s Humilele is an easy-to-use, no-mess, and low maintenance ukulele humidifier. Ukulele wood needs moisture to play and look its best, and the Humilele rests securely on top of the strings to safely and evenly hydrate your ukulele to avoid warping, shrinking, or cracking. It fits in all soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone sound holes, with an overall width of 2 inches. The innovative Humid-i-Bar sponge holds a lot of water and has anti-drip properties, which means less monitoring on your end while your ukulele is being cared for. It is easy to check on–simply pop the top and touch the Humid-i-Bar. If it’s wet, leave it; if it’s dry, then it’s time to rehydrate. Rehydrating is also a cinch–remove the Humid-i-Bar sponge, soak it in distilled water, and reinstall. Easy, no mess, and low maintenance. It is recommended to use the Humilele when the humidity falls below 40 percent.

The only thing that should be noted that I did not initially realize when I made this purchase is that you should only use DISTILLED WATER with this humidifier. Although distilled water is cheap enough at your local grocery store, it makes the actual sponge soaking more of a process than I was hoping for…
If you live in a cold dry Northern area, and want your ukulele to stay in good condition take the time and use one of these I live in Minnesota. It is so dry in the winters you get shocked just walking around the house. I have humidifiers going in each room, but it doesn’t seem to make much of a difference. I can’t really tell if these are working, but I’m going to assume they are because I do have to dip in the distilled water at least once a week to soften again. I play my ukulele almost daily and I did notice that I had to tune it a little more after I started using these. It could be that it stretches out the G…
