DAMPIT VIOLIN HUMIDIFIER -
THE ORIGINAL SINCE 1966
Protect Your Violin from Cracks and Costly Repairs
Dry air causes wood to shrink, leading to cracks, open seams, and compromised tone. The Dampit humidifier actively raises and maintains proper humidity levels inside your violin - preventing damage before it starts.
Why Dampit Works:
Unlike gel systems that only maintain existing humidity, Dampit actually raises humidity levels under dry conditions. This active humidification prevents cracks in new instruments and can help restore already-damaged wood.
Trusted by Professionals for Over 50 Years:
Invented in 1966 by professional violinist Ralph Hollander, Dampit has protected instruments for orchestral musicians, soloists, and students worldwide. When luthiers recommend humidity control, they recommend Dampit.
How It Works:
- Soak the Dampit in water for 5 minutes
- Squeeze out excess water (should feel damp, not dripping)
- Insert through the f-hole, resting on the instrument's bottom
- Check weekly and re-wet as needed
Safe and Effective:
- Soft, flexible rubber tube won't scratch your instrument's interior
- No chemicals - just distilled water
- Long-lasting - years of use with proper care
- Works in extreme climates - desert heat to arctic cold
When You Need It Most:
- Winter heating season (indoor humidity drops below 40%)
- Air-conditioned environments
- Dry climates year-round
- Storage or travel
- Anytime a hygrometer reads below 40% humidity
