The Howard Core HT2 Humitron Humidifier functions as a protection for your cello. Within the green tube is a long sponge that will feed humidity to your instrument when damp.
Simply wet the humidifier with water and wipe off excess dripping, then store it in the F-Hole of the instrument.
Keeping your cello in stable humidity prevents cracking and the opening of the seams of the instrument. Humidification is a fundamental maintenance habit that will keep your instrument in good playing condition.
