Two functions in one
One of the biggest threats to our beloved guitars and basses – especially of the acoustic variety – is dry air, which constantly removes moisture from the wood and causes it to shrink, and eventually leads to undesirable fret sprout or even more severe damage like cracks in the guitar's top. However, this threat can be eliminated by measuring and, if necessary, increasing the air humidity in the instrument’s environment. This is exactly where MusicNomad's Humitar ONE comes in: The combined hygrometer and humidifier allows the air humidity to be easily monitored directly on or inside the instrument and appropriately increased using a water-filled sponge.

Highly precise digital measurements
The innovative MusicNomad Humitar ONE combines two functions in a single unit: A hygrometer and a humidifier. Most importantly, the digital hygrometer provides reliable information about the relative air humidity and the ambient temperature (in Celsius or Fahrenheit readings). It automatically measures the air humidity every 20 seconds and instantly displays the current value alongside the minimum and maximum values measured over the entire monitoring period, allows individual minimum and maximum values to be set, and sounds an alarm when the thresholds are exceeded, thereby making a significant contribution to an instrument's longevity.

A guitar's life insurance
There is now no longer any excuse for acoustic guitar and bass players not to use the MusicNomad Humitar ONE, because preventing an instrument from damage has never been easier. And investing in this unbeatably priced guitar lifesaver will pay off in the long term considering the high costs for repairing an instrument or purchasing a new one. During winter season in particular, when it's cold outside and the heating is constantly on indoors, indoor air humidity can quickly fall below the critical level of 40 percent – and even more quickly below the harmful level of 30 percent. Frequent air humidity measurements are therefore a prerequisite to be able to take appropriate measures, such as hanging up wet bed sheets, or – much more simply – using the Humitar ONE.

About MusicNomad
MusicNomad was founded by Rand Rognlien, a specialist for automotive paint care products and a passionate hobby musician. When he launched the MusicNomad web portal in 2008 to build a network for himself and his fellow musicians along the lines of Facebook, he needed a strategy to raise the necessary funds. That was when Rand's extensive professional expertise came into play and he started to develop professional instrument care products for all kinds of materials and surfaces, from lacquer and metal to bare wood, which he soon complemented by a selection of special tools. Since then, MusicNomad has become a household name in music communities in over 50 countries worldwide and is the preferred choice of numerous renowned guitar manufacturers, such as Taylor Guitars and Martin Guitars.
Micro-climate in a guitar case
The MusicNomad Humitar ONE can also simply be placed anywhere in a room to monitor the air humidity. But there is a much more sophisticated way to use it: Its specific design allows it to be conveniently mounted directly in an acoustic guitar's soundhole (in such a way that the strings hold it in place), simply doing its job while the guitar is being kept on a stand or stored in a case. This is also when the Humitar ONE's second essential component comes into its own: The innovative sponge, which can be soaked with water and inserted into the humidifier's lower section, allows the air humidity in the instrument and the guitar case to be easily increased in a very targeted manner. Worried about warped or cracked guitar tops? Keep calm and use the Humitar ONE.
