I'd like to use this hygrometer to keep track of the humidity in my acoustic guitar's case. Do you think it would work well for this purpose?

Yes, it works great! In fact, I replaced my fancy (expensive) digital hygrometer with this little dial hygrometer. I highly recommend it for the guitar case. My Larrivee acoustic keeps a steady '65' index, with Large DampIt in sound hole + extra sponge under the neck.

I don't calibrate the meter. It works right out of the box for humidity level. I do not use the ph meter or the light meter. May be you can stick in in vinegar and see if it reads about 3

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.

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

Not sure how long the battery lasts. I've had my Mini Hygrometer since last winter 2012. It still works just fine. It's perfect for fitting in small places. I keep it in my guitar case in the dry winter months to keep check on humidity. In humid summer months I keep it on night stand where it doesn't take up much space. I don't expect this digital unit being a small size will go through batteries very fast. Battery could last a year or two. Most important, this unit is very well made. Hope this helps, Stan

It has two probes (one for temp and one for moisture content); the relative humidity (based on these two factors) is displayed on the unit; it is a GREAT device for monitoring crawlspace humidity

A little difficult to predict. I live near the SF Bay area where we have varying degrees of humidity particularly in the winter when it can be rainy. My guess is that it will probably be ok if you apply something like a teak oil once or twice a year, as it will be protected from the rain.

I would think you'll have some benefit to using this humidifier, but I believe they're most effective when storing the guitar in it's case. If I left mine out on a stand I'd probably opt for humidifying the entire room, (if you can close it off from other rooms and keep the humidity stable).

It depends on the humidity where the case and guitar are stored. How dry, or wet is the guitar? If the ambient humidity is near or at optimum then there is no need to do anything extra. The humidipak will be fine. If the room conditions are way out of the desired range then the ability of the salts in humidipak to release or absorb moisture will be exhausted more quickly than expected. This is my understanding of the process.

I don't think it would work in this application. a fan would work to remove the moisture from the windows.

Although it seems complicated it's pretty simple. The humidistat senses the humidity and acts like a switch. It will turn on a blower motor and or a solenoid on the humidifier. With an outdoor air sensor it will process the information and keep the humidity at a set level in the house. It will also work without an outdoor air sensor but it will not be quite as automatic.

This unit measures both the humidity and the temperature, but it displays only the relative humidity, so if you want to know the temperature, you'll need another meter for that. I have a temperature controller next to the humidity meter, so I get temperature off that.

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!

Hi. There is no hygrometer on this humidifier. You set the level with a twist knob and it just controls the amount of output of mist. It will not stop if a certain point is reached nor will it tell you what the humidity is.

Yes but it does not necessarily give an accurate reading. I believe that it gives a high reading most of the time when I have compared it with another non digital humidistat. But you can set it to turn off automatically at a certain reading.

It has a single probe that measures temperature and relative humidity. It will not do what you want - measure temperature in 2 places.
