I have a humidifier built into the AC/heat system (only needed in the winter).
My heat pump is a variable speed model (Carrier introduced this concept a couple of years ago), and it'll run from 40% to 100% of capacity. So, my 5-ton unit will run from 2 tons to 5 tons. By running at a lower speed, it'll tend to run longer, which is very helpful in reducing humidity (compared to running full-speed for shorer periods of time).
I have all my guitars hanging in my "music room", which also has its own mini-split (wall-mounted) heat pump. I have that one set to "dehumidify" in the non-winter months.
If I ever need additional humidity in that room, I'll set up my room humidifier . . but I really don't think it'll ever become necessary.
