Product Description
Oasis Ukulele Humidifier. With two unique features, the mounting system allows the humidifier to hang horizontally inside the ukulele rather than vertical (like the guitar humidifier). Secondly, the humidity output is about 50-Percent of the Royal Blue Oasis guitar humidifier, to accommodate the smaller instrument size. This also allows the humidifier to last twice as long between refills.

When I started buying solid wood instruments I was concerned that the humidification would be a big pain but these have made it a non-issue which is great.
Overall, I'm happy with the OH-18 but there are a few drawbacks that I didn't experience with the OH-1.
-The hangar did not fit the tube. The opening was too small. I had to carefully enlarge the opening with a razor blade.
-I use this with a concert ukulele and find it difficult to place the humidifier in the sound hole. The tube is the same size as the one for guitars, but you place it parallel to the top of the uke instead of perpendicular to it. I manage to get hung up in the top bracing almost every time I replace it. I can't even imagine getting it inside a soprano without a hassle.
I have not had leaks with any Oasis Humidifier I've used. A few tips:
-Be very careful when you first open it so that you do not spill any crystals. If you do, then order replacement crystals. The crystals prevent leaks by turning the water into a gel, so you need the full amount.
-Only use distilled water. Impurities in tap water can block the pores in the fabric.
-Don't touch the fabric if you can avoid it. Hold the humidifier by the lid or the rubber top and bottom.
-Be careful when refilling not to get the outside of the humidifier wet. Use the included syringe and go slowly-the gel will expand as it absorbs water. Do not overfill. If you overfill, you will weaken or burst the seam on the tube and may get leaks. I also leave my humidifier out on the counter for about 10 minutes after I've refilled it to be sure that all the water has turned to gel before placing it in the sound hole.
-I think it's better to refill before the humidifier has started to significantly shrivel. There's less stress on the seam that way. When it's reduced in volume about 25-30%, I refill it rather than waiting for it to start to really crumple.
Don't think you can avoid humidification if you hold instruments in cases. You still need one in the sound-hole. If your room where you store the instruments dips (ever) below 35%, (this tends to coincide with drops in temperature outside) you need to humidify the room consistently (get a whole house one, trust me, its cheaper and so much easier in the long run.) or you risk permenantly damaging your precious instruments. Electric instruments also need humidification, as the glues and parts will separate. Unfortunately, it only takes ONE drop or major rise sometimes to crack or warp a good quality uke. Trust me, I own 3, 2 are made in Hawaii- a Kaniliea' and a Kamake- the best. The Kanilea' tenor is a spalted koa and ran me $900. It cracked immediately along the back, humidity related. The frets that were like butter became sharp. The fretboard warped as well as the top- nit enough to see; but enough to create issues when playing certain chords. It was an expensive lesson. The kamake concert lives in its hard case with its oasis himidifier and is perfect. If you can't consistantly control your humidity to be 35-55%, (much harder than it sounds) you need these. My humidity issue is so all over the board and my instruments valuable enough that I will eventually buy a glass disay case specifically for my uke collection. They don't tell you this stuff when you buy the instruments, but you gotta take care of them, its more cost and work. Don't buy any instrument of significant value if you don't have a controlled humidity environment. The easiest way are these oasis humidifiers (much better than thr crappy inserts that you need to fill constantly and drip.) and leaving the instruments in their hard cases when not in use.

加湿器を回したくらいでは内部までしっかり加湿できないようですね。おススメ!!
追伸:ハードケースの性能が良いのか、使用2ヶ月後位から60%を超え、最近は補水しなくても65%になっている。高過ぎないかと心配している。何れにしろ湿度調整剤の状態の影響は大きい。
