Double Bass shoot me...humidity questions

I gotta agree with fingers. When you're gigging, you have no control over the humidity, and transport complicates matters worse.

There's only 2 kinds of humidity- low and otherwise. Low (for me) is anything below 40%. That's when I bust out the humidifiers. I generally only need them when I'm running the heat in my house.

Splitting hairs over the accuracy of humidity measurement system A over B, well... My metronome/tuner/thermometer/hygrometer ($50 from Robertson's) here in my studio says 74.7 and 43%, Which to me says 'warm and OK'.
