I have an Ovation Elite which has non traditional epaulet sound holes. How could I use this product to humidify my guitar?

Let me admit first, that without visual assessment but with my own practice. I just lay one pack in my case under the neck of the guitar. Or if you are not going to move the guitar, just lay the pack, inside its case (provided) on top of the strings. It has to be inside a closed case. I wish you success.

I am not sure about your guitar. The packets are (should be) soft and able to be put into the largest sound hole. Otherwise, the packet can sit toward the neck end of the case or beside the instrument itself, providing there is room between it and the case. Hope this helps.

The humidipak just rests in the guitar case, not in the instrument itself so it should be ideal for your Ovavtion. I use this for a lute which has a rosette (no open sound hole) and it works great.

Not sure. However you may be able to fit the unit into the largest holes. FYI- I rejuvenated the packet suspending in a sealed Tupperware container on a rack above the water. In the morning it will be like new.

Hi, the only way this might help is by placing the humid pack under the neck of the guitar in the guitar case, which one of the packs does anyway. the one that goes in the sound hole could be placed flat along the strings on top, but you need to ensure you can close your guitar case. I tried it on mine and was able to close the case with out issue. Your might be different. I do recommend these if you love your guitar.

This humidifier is great for laminated and solid guitars in case, soft case and gig bags. Bring a great sound to your guitar.

I use it to lessen the noise on a wet tumbler when polishing brass cases that I use to reload for my ammunition. In my use it cut the noise by 80%, it does not have any adhesive on the acoustic damping foam, so I use plummer glue to attach it to my 10 inches diameter PVC tubing. For your use you will have to make the call if you want to use it for your application on the back of an upright piano. You may try with some double sided tape first to see if it gut down on the sound coming out of the back, because once you use plumer glue on any surface it is hot coming off without damaging whatever it is attached too. So plumer glue is for one time permanent attachment to an item. I use it to lessen the noise on a wet tumbler when polishing brass cases that I use to reload for my ammunition.

I used an essential eucalyptus oil in it. Not more than half a dropper worth, but it was enough to basically corrode the plastic on the inside of the humidifier. This was my fault! Not at all blaming this otherwise stupendous product, as I just bought a replacement, but I essentially (pun?) wrecked my previous one. Learn from my mistake.

It would work great for that. I bought mine to ream out the friction peg holes in the headstock of a ukulele. I used violin pegs to replace the missing or old worn out pegs.

This is meant to be used with the guitar in the case. I have humidifiers running by my guitars that are out of their cases.

Yes it can and should not damage the finish. I didn't have any problems with the finish on my guitar after removing the pick-up. If you're looking for a great sound hole pick up, get this one.

The previous answer is mine also. The sponge type Humidifiers are made for and work best when the guitar is stored in the case. Because you store your guitar on a stand and open to the room humidity, one of two things is true. If your guitar still plays OK and does not need a setup it means the room you store your guitar in does not need to be humidified. Otherwise your guitar would be fried by now.

The care and maintenance instructions say that "excessive heat and low humidity are your instruments biggest enemies. Keep your Oscar Schmidt on a stand or in its case with humidifier in well tempered area." On the other hand, the warranty states "this warranty does not cover ... cracking from extremes of temperature or humidity...." This is a well-made instrument. The wood has been properly prepared before finishing, so I really doubt there will be any problem with the neck warping. I took a cheaper uke I have to Taiwan where the humidity is very high. After five years, it was still in its original condition. So balance these items and make a decision. If I were you, I'd go for it.

No it won't.. its magnetic not magical :P Would have been an interesting sound that your searching for, had that not been the case.How else could you make a similar sound on a classical acoustic? Now that would be a fun challenge. How could you add a legit swell to one string and make it sustain as of ur not touching it?Air?

I put the eq into a separate wooden box and only installed a pickup and connect plug at the base of the guitar. This product is really junk for an acoustic guitar of any real quality. I would not use it for a decent F hole either. It is way to large.

You can use 1/4 unputs lack for guitar. Watch the photo already be shown. leftside of the picture. There are two big hole. That is called 'Input 1, Input 2'. At center of the hole, You can put your linee into the hole. If you have another question. sent it to my e-mail. goldmask1029@gmail.com

Yes, although I would recommend keeping the guitar in its case as much of the time as possible. If you hang it on the wall, the Kyser humidifier is essential because other wise the body is fully exposed to the ambient temperature and humidity of the room and that will fluctuate during the day and when the weather conditions change. The Kyser, because it covers the sound hole, helps to maintain a more consistent humidity level inside the guitar's body.

Yes. It keeps your guitar between 45-55% relative humidity. I think it would be better than silica gel moisture reducers. But you must keep your guitar in its case (when not being played) for it to work. Good luck and good picking!

It's too small for a baritone. You might see if they make a wooden holder for a guitar since the baritone would fit better. :-)

It probably depends on the humidity of the area you live in...there's nothing magnetic about a soft case that will absorb moisture more so than a thirsty acoustic wooden guitar. That said a soft case is more porous than a wooden or plastic case unless, of course, the case inner lining is resistant to absorbing moisture. Try it for a few weeks to see what happens but place the humid pak inside or as close to the guitar as possible. And... Until you're sure, don't take your prized possession in its case out in the rain or snow! Or, get an inexpensive harder case.

Reading about humidifiers, ultrasonic humidifiers put quite a bit of white dust into the air. You would have to have naturally very soft water. NOT water softener water. Or use distilled water. Very expensive.
