Thread Name: Instruments & Humidity in US and UK
Subject: RE: Instruments & Humidity in US and UK
Non-tuneable bodhrans can have problems with varying humidity: I used to carry around a damp cloth in a poly bag for when it got too hot/dry/tight. And had to give it the hand-dryer treatment in the loo when it went totally flaccid on a hot and humid day!
My tuneable one survived being left in a car in Spain: left the car in the shade, came back - no longer in shade, car temp gauge reading 50 deg C!
Pianos too can suffer: our old wooden-framed upright had its frame crack after years of being in a too warm, too dry room.
