So, I did a little humidity testing in the cabinet over the past few days. The humidity in my guitar room has been holding right at 40%. The humidity in the room with the cabinet is at 30%. I added 4 mason jars with saturated sponges and about a half in of water on Saturday. The humidity in the cabinet is holding at 40%. I wanted to test this before I moved that big beast down a flight of stairs!
... so, the cabinet CAN hold higher humidity than the surrounding area. I expect that it won’t be a full ten points higher in the guitar room; because it has a relatively higher base rate humidity level ..... but maybe just maybe it will be 7 point higher and I will hit 47%. (Note - I fully recognize nothing is that easy - so we shall see).
... and soon enough, the humidity will rise and I will be running my dehumidifiers to keep the room around 47% and the cabinet will just be for display until next winter.
Alas ... this could work out!
