It is very dry in Colorado this time year. Come to think of it, Colorado is dry most of the year! If you do not control humidity levels your are sure to have a cracked guitar. I have tried several ways of doing this over the years and have had satisfactory results. However, this year is so dry that I needed to find a better solution. Recently I visited with fellow luthier, Michael Bashkin,  in his shop in Ft. Collins, Colorado. He solved the dryness issue in his shop by making his own humidifier. I put together a Luthier Tips du Jour video of how to make your own humidifier. I hope you find it useful.

If you are interested in learning to build guitars or just want
to see how I build my guitars then schedule a class with me.
If you are in need of a concert quality classical or steel string
guitar then let me know as I would love to build a guitar for you.

Thank you,
