I have a hygrometer in each of the three rooms that I play or store guitars. Depending on the path of the sun, depending on whether or not I have a damp sweater that I do not put in the dryer hanging in the bathroom, or whether or not it is raining outside, there are changes in the readings throughout the house. Once in a while it rises as high as 65% and occasionally it drops to as low as 34% but nothing too drastic or too quickly for any length of time.

Monitoring and adjusting to keep it at an acceptable range is the ticket. I don't worry about having it at one specific reading. I have found that the range that works for my guitars is anywhere between 55% and 40%. I do keep my guitars in their cases when they are not being played.

Best,
Jayne
