Hi All, I just bought a Taylor 816ce, and I want to make sure to keep it properly humidified. I'll have to use a case humidifier of some kind for the time being.
What do you all recommend to keep my new Taylor humidified? It's dry and cold here in the winter...
I have some Oasis humidifiers. They work, but I have to remember to check them - open to suggestions!
Congrats on your new guitar. Year made? Just curious; 800 series was 'modernized' not too many years ago.
A very timely thread recently started in the subzero wind chill month of last December has a lot of pertinent info. Titled "Humidification for Winter". Check it out:

Thanks for the link, some good information.
It's a new 816, current model. Fantastic sound and beautiful playability right out of the case.
I'm in the Northeast, so variable humidity and temps all the time, but winter can be especially dry at times.
I used to use Oasis (sound hole and case) and they worked for humidifying in the winter, if I could only remember to refill them.
I will likely buy into the technology and get a bluetooth sensor. That'll make it easier for me. I'll probably go with the humidipacks for now.
I was interested in the water bead idea that one person mentioned. My electrics could use some humidity in the winter too. If I had a room where I could maintain humidity that'd be best, but it is what it is.
