Tired of messy humidifiers that leak inside your case, dry out too soon or are difficult to fill? The Arion humidifier<br />
contains proprietary hydrogels inside a space age plastic container. Simply fill with water and place in your case.<br />
Water vapor will be released directly through the space age plastic, with no leaking. Refill every 1 to 3 months as<br />
needed - so simple a child can do it, just pop off the top, fill, and put the top back on!<br />

Ask the Maestro!<br />
Why use a humidifier?<br />
A very good and<br />
timely question!<br />
The winter months ahead will bring with them colder and drier air<br />
which can be dangerous for instruments and bows. Wood absorbs and<br />
releases moisture as humidity levels change in the surrounding air.<br />
Instruments are, of course, made of wood. Dry air causes wood to<br />
release moisture which causes it to shrink and/or shift ever so slightly<br />
which for your instrument can lead to cracks and expensive repair bills.<br />
Of course most instruments will not crack, but as your instrument dries<br />
out, its tone will change, and seldom does it change for the better! Bow<br />
horsehair shrinks in dry air which can impair sound quality, or cause the<br />
bow to warp, or could even result in a disastrous bow tip break. A good<br />
phrase that comes to mind is: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound<br />
of cure”. Purchasing a relatively inexpensive humidifier will protect your<br />
investment and help you to sound your best. All humidifiers work best<br />
with distilled water.<br />
Oasis Humidifiers<br />
Easy to install!<br />
Visibly shrinks to show when to refill!<br />
Case Humidifier<br />
Water evaporates through the high-tech fabric of this<br />
humidifier, maintaining a constant level of humidity. Unlike<br />
many other humidifiers it is very easy to see when your Oasis<br />
needs refilling as the humidifier shrinks as water evaporates.<br />
Includes refilling syringe and a neodymium magnet system<br />
that allows you to install inside your case using either the<br />
included clip or sticky backed metal strip. Use of distilled<br />
water is recommended.<br />
