I have seen the leaky rubber tube with a sponge but this is very different. Does anyone use it? It seems like a natural for all the dry concertina complaints we hear around here.

I have one of these jobbies but now live in a place so wet I hardly need to use it (silica gel occasionally though)!

I have the Number 1 model fixed into my Bobelock violin case. It only needs refilling about once a week or so. Here's another gizmo - Herco guitar humidifier. It also works well - I use it in my other case.

With the very cold weather we've had the humidity gets quite low and the fiddle pegs start slipping - nothing like a bad peg day! But one of these things in the case cures the problem.
