Humidity protects
And not just violins
 |
| The world famous violin maker, Antonio Stradivari feared nothing worst than dry air. Because he knew: Dry air was not only harmful to his health, it also affected the quality of his instruments. But not just violins. Dry air caused damage to wooden furniture, parquet flooring and other wooden products. |
 | History does not tell us whether or not Stradivari had a cat. But if he did, even that cat would not have been content with excessively dry air. And the same holds for most house-plants. Other affects of low humidity include electrostatic charging of textiles made of synthetic fibers and potential damage to electronic equipment and other furnishings. |
 | Medical experts recommend a relative air humidity between 40 and 60 percent. At these levels our senses tell us the air in the room is ideally humidified. This humidity level also is ideal for our health, for the animals and plants in the room, for furniture, musical instruments and much more. |
