Care & polish
The original Dampit is a soft rubber tube with a sponge core that releases moisture from inside your instrument. It's a simple, reusable way to help protect the top, back and seams from dry winter air and indoor heating.
Why players use a Dampit
- Helps guard against cracks, open seams and warping caused by dry air
- Sits inside the instrument through the f-hole and can stay in while you play, with no loss of tone
- Reusable: just water, with no packets to replace
- Includes a humidity indicator so you can check the air where your instrument is kept
Choose your size
- Small Violin 1/16 – 1/2: Dampit's smaller model, sized for fractional violin f-holes
- Violin / Viola 3/4 – 4/4: the standard violin Dampit
- Cello: the cello Dampit
- Bass: the bass Dampit. It may not fit every fractional bass f-hole, so call us if you play a small bass.
Playing viola? Call us at 203.661.9500 and, we'll help you choose the right humidifier.
How to use
- Soak the Dampit in water for about 20 seconds.
- Pinch the end to remove excess water, then wipe the outside completely dry. It should be damp, never dripping.
- Insert it through the f-hole.
- Re-wet it when it's nearly dry.
Use your Dampit only during dry weather or heating season. Dampit recommends keeping humidity between 45% and 55%.
