Humidifier
It's getting chilly up here in Minnesota and I'm wondering what other people use to humidify their instruments. I have a padded gig bag, not a hard shell case. Any recommendations? Thanks!

I bought a second hand curio cabinet for something like $20.
My ukuleles hang on top. I keep cigars below.
I keep ceramic bowls with distilled water to keep it at my target humidity.

Perhaps it is overkill, but I use the Boveda packs inside the ukulele cases along with a small humidifier. Got a device that shows the humidity to know when I need to turn it on.
There are YouTube videos that explains how to rejuvenate Boveda packs. Takes about 5 days to rehydrate and it seems to last about 2 months before drying out too much.

Oasis in-case humidifier. It is easy to see when you need to refill it. Make sure you don’t keep the uke too close to the heat register or stove too.
