Updated - Replaces Dampit but Stretto is better, October 9, 2004
This review is from: Planet Waves Humidifier for Violin/Viola/Guitar and Small Instruments
I initially gave this item a sterling review but after some use I have to revise my original.
After using the Planet Waves for the last month or two I've noticed it doesn't take up the water as readily as it did when I first used it. There seems to be spill over even after two weeks when I know the humidifier is very much dried out. The manufacturer does recommend distilled water and not tap - even filtered tap water. The second issue is that with a hard case with a plastic outer shell, it works great. However on a newer case with suspension system with canvas sides the humidity is not retained. This was fortunately solved using the more expensive Stretto. Now keep in mind not everyone thinks you should humidify. After having to do some repairs to my original violin the luthier recommended humidification and I have been doing that since with my original violin and my new one.
