Here in Maine the house gets very dry during the winter months. I use one of these on my three violins to maintain the critical humidity when I store the violin in its case.

If you live in a climate that gives you winter, you HAVE to have this thing. It keeps your instrument humidified and therefore keeps the body from cracking in the dry winter months. Do not listen to those who tremble with fear over putting water inside the instrument. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS provided with the Dampit. You soak it in water and then squeeze out the excess so it is not dripping and dry off the outside. Then shove it in the F hole. It will save your violin.

This is just what I needed for my violin. My previous dampit was 30 years old and cracking, this came and was just like my previous one. Easy to use and much needed for the dry house I live in. This should help my violin.

I am a viola/violin collector and I've been using Dampit and similar products for a while. I tried other alternatives to Dampit (as they are hard to find sometimes!), but there is no comparison - Dampit is the best value for money, better quality that will last, and works superior compared to other similar products. I also use it on my acoustic guitars and ukeleles. I currently have about a dozen Dampits and I switch them around in my collection.

I live in Wyoming and the winters can be really dry. This thing really works and has restored the humidity to my violin. I tried various methods but this one actually made the bloody hydrometer in my case go back to the normal range.

I bought this for my daughter's violin as I have had one for many years and have been happy with it. It is working fine. An interesting thing however - Both my daughter and I have full size violins and both dampits (old and new) fit nicely in mine but are quite tight and a challenge to get in for my daughters violin.

Air humidity is very low in my house. I'm happy to have something that protects my violin from low humidity. The only complaint is that the first part of the tube close to the tip is a bit rigid and very straight. The tip of Dampit does not slide on the violin's back easily, which makes it difficult to pass the point when the tip of Dampit just touched violin's back. If I keep pushing the tube into the violin, the tube eventually bends and starts to slide inside the violin.

These are the old standby for keeping the interior of your instrument humidified. I live in a very dry part of the country, and have looked into room as well as instrument humidifiers to keep my instruments happy. Since I haven't found the perfect room humidifier for my needs yet, and other instrument humidifiers are kind of fussy or weird, I went with Dampit again. Dampits have stood the test of time for me for thirty years. They're inexpensive and effective. Yes, they need checking and maintenance, but with good water and proper use they will last for years.
