The RDM Bass Humitron is a specialized, non-vinyl, non-allergenic resin tube humidifier designed to prevent wood cracking and damage in upright/double basses caused by dry, low-humidity environments. It works by absorbing water and slowly releasing moisture through small vents while placed inside the instrument's f-holes.
Key Details of the RDM Bass Humitron:
Purpose: Protects solid wood instruments from drying out, cracking, and maintaining proper string height by keeping the internal environment humidified.
Usage: It is submerged in water for a few seconds, dried on the outside, and then inserted into the bass f-hole.
Material: Made in the USA with high-grade, non-allergenic, and non-vinyl resin.
Design: A soft rubber tube that does not put pressure on the instrument's delicate structure.
When to Use: Recommended for use when local humidity falls below 50%.
