Humidifiers for harps?

[Lily-White]

Thank you Billooms!

In an ideal world, I would like something very natural, that doesn’t need chemicals, electricity or similar. But the nature of the climate in my country isn’t healthy for a harp, so I need to protect mine.

That said, your method speaks to me. No steam, and I would choose to leave out the anti-bacterial. This choice has its pros and cons, but I’m one of those who avoid using chemicals.

If I may ask one more thing, would it be possible for you to send a link for your humidifier, please? Or for one like it. I would be very grateful.

I’m also very grateful for the information in each and everyone of the answers I’ve got. Different views and different ways to do this, so much knowledge and wisdom. Thanks to everybody! 🙂

My question is more about humidification. The humidity here in Colorado can’t decide what it wants to do. I run an evaporative humidifier all winter, setting a bowl of water at the foot of the harp when not at home (it’s the thought that counts.) My analog hygrometer has fluctuated over the past few days,just barely over the line into “comfort zone,” and the digital one says 22%. 26% is about as high as that one ever reads, even when inside the cello case with an Oasis humidifier.

Not sure what to do, especially with snow forecast. I’ve been told not to allow large swings in humidity. Go back to running the humidifier? Put out more bowls of water?
