Acoustics are more prone to drying out! |
If you depend on your guitar and voice at least in part to make a living, you really need to protect your investments. Winter dryness can wreak havoc with your acoustic guitar's structure and ability to stay in tune. Really the same holds true for your voice! Traveling poses a real threat to both because you have no control over the airplane cabin or hotel room's humidity levels. Airplanes are notoriously dry so there's not much you can do about that but once you arrive at your destination, there is a workable solution to rehydrate yourself AND your instruments.
Air O Swiss makes a full range of ultrasonic humidifiers for the home and studio with some vocalists having one in each room to maintain optimal humidity levels, (between 45-55%). Once you leave that comfortably controlled environment, well, you're on your own!
Air O Swiss has an answer for that too. The
AOS 7146 Travel Ultrasonic Humidifier offers a super lightweight, portable unit that gives you humidity output of 1 gallon a day using a simple plastic water bottle! The no-leak adapter and balancing feet make it tip proof and stable plus it's quiet in operation.

The Air O Swiss 7146 Travel Ultrasonic Humidifier |
This portable humidifier can be placed on your night stand or dresser for a great night's sleep. The cool microfine mist immediately evaporates and if you are using bottled water you'll enjoy pure, fresh air as well. Place your guitar on its stand and it will naturally absorb the moisture from the room humidifier. Both you AND your guitar can sleep well! I've found my acoustic guitars staying in tune longer when they are kept properly humidified. I also have less sinus and vocal issues in the morning after sleeping with an ultrasonic humidifier. Now you don't have to leave behind all the comforts of home. Take clean, moist air with you everywhere you go, even on tour.
