MusicNomad, the leader in equipment care products, has developed an easy to use, no mess, and low maintenance guitar humidifier. The Humitar safely releases moisture evenly to eliminate these potential problems. Our innovative Humid-i-Bar sponge holds a lot more water than our competition. This means less monitoring on your end while resting assured your fine guitar is being cared for. Time to check the Humitar? Easy! Pop the top, touch the insert; if it’s wet leave it, if it’s dry, it’s time to rehydrate. Rehydrating is a cinch – simply remove the Humid-i-Bar sponge, soak it in distilled water and you’re back in action – easy no mess and low maintenance.

This humidifier saved my new guitar from an untimely death. I took my first guitar (owned for 6 years) with me to my college dorm room. There was a major draft in my room and the air was incredibly dry during the winter (20% humidity), even with two air humidifiers constantly running. It wrecked the poor guitar, so I purchased this humidifier for my next guitar to save it from the same fate.This humidifier is remarkably easy to use, saves my guitar from the dry air, and gives me peace of mind that my guitar is safe. It fits nicely between the D and G strings without getting the body wet at all. It’s versatile because I can still store my guitar in its case standing up, on its side, or on its back. Very sturdy and has seen a ton of use. I can’t recommend this enough for people with dry rooms.

Great humidifiers that hold enough water to last a week or more. I’ve tried them all, these work extremely well.

Simple et efficace pour garder un bon niveau d’humidité dans le bois massif d’une guitare acoustique ! Je regrette de ne pas avoir commandé le model avec hygromètre intégré, mais il existe d’autres moyens plus rudimentaires et moins précis pour vérifier si « la très chère a soif »…

I have one for each guitar and uke. Once a week, I throw all the sponges in a plate full of water, shake the sponges before placing them back into the cases, and put them back in my instruments. Easy peasy. They work great.

I’m not sure if I’m reviewing the one for guitar or ukulele (much smaller) here, but they both are super simple to use, and work very well to maintain proper instrument humidity in dry climates or during winter heating season (my problem here).With both these and the competitive product, some people have commented that it seems like it takes too much force to pull it out, off the notch that holds it in place. But if you give it just a slight twist before lifting it, it pulls the strings out of the notch or catch, and you can lift it out easily. I rewet them once a week. Your results may vary. But in general they work great. There’s also a version with a built-in hygrometer, which I haven’t tried. In my five instruments I have one hygrometer and that gives me enough info overall.

I have tried 4 different sound hole humidifiers through the years for my instruments. This is the best I have used for an inexpensive but effective humidifier. The sponge is high absorbency and holds water well. There are minimal drips and with a little attention to details, you don’t have to worry about water splashes on or in your guitars any sound hole humidifier like this will require frequent wetting, but this stays moist longer others. The access to the sponge is a snap - literally. The key is to use distilled water if you want to avoid mold! I also use MusicNomad ukulele humidifiers in my 10 ukes. This company makes quality products!

can see it make a difference to guitar sound and shape and very easy to use. Holds water for about 2 weeks in that sponge.

I've been using a combination of a Kyser humidifier in the soundhole, and a Herco HE360 up by the headstock. These are both fine products, but I've never found them ideal - particularly the Kyser, and here's why: in a perfect world, a humidifier sponge would have maximal absorption capacity, and minimal chance of leakage/damage to an instrument. As I said, the Kyser model I have works well, but there are two major complaints: 1) the sponge is very thin, and doesn't absorb much water. 2) Because the sponge is facing down into the inside of your guitar, you must always err on the side of caution, and be sure that most of the water has been squeezed out. For me, this meant re-saturating the sponge every 4-5 days. When I saw the claims made by Music Nomad (sponge holds 10X its own weight, and doesn't drip), I was skeptical, to say the least. It sounded like phony marketing hype. I decided to try both the soundhole and case models anyway, and am I ever glad I did. The sponge really does absorb a massive amount of water, and excels at retaining it. I squeeze just a little bit of water out, and the sponge doesn't drip. And even if it did,, because there are no holes in the bottom of the humidifier, your instrument would still be safe. I also use distilled water - as they recommend - to lessen the chances of the sponge getting moldy. The sponge material they use is absolutely amazing. I've just hit the 2-week mark, and the sponge is still a little damp! I can't sing the praises of Music Nomad's humidifiers enough. It was money well spent. I contacted the company with a small issue, and received a rapid response, and great customer service. I highly recommend these Music Nomad humidifiers, with no hesitation.

For my every day guitar, this works very well. I use two, one under the headstock and one between the strings in the sound hole. In winter (Michigan) house humidity is fairly low (about 25% - sometimes less), but two of these keeps my case at about 38-45% (assessed with in-case meter). I have to replenish the sponges about once a week for it to work well. This is not an ordinary sponge. It holds a lot more water and emphasis on hold. It doesn't drip unless you supersaturate it. Overall, a very good product that I like because of the simplicity and relative cost. If you have instruments you only play once in a while, this might not be the best option. For those instruments I load the case with 4 humidipacks from Boveda in their breathable "socks". That lasts a bit longer than 1 month in my low-humidity winter period. For frequently used instruments, the reduced cost and simplicity of these MN300s is hard to beat. I thought the tension on the D and G strings might pull them out of tune. Haven't really noticed that. Those strings need no more tuning than the E strings. So these are a great option if you open your case (play) your guitar daily or at least weekly. However, for infrequently used instruments of high value, I recommend the Boveda system. It's more expensive to be sure, but lasts longer between needed "refills" and actually keeps the humidity in the case within a tighter range (almost spot on 45-48%).
