Will this ruin the strings?** A: I never put it in between my strings. I just set it between the edge of the hole and either of the E strings. It's a perfect fit and much easier. **Q: will this work if the guitar if on a stand and not in the case?** A: Yes, I have my guitars hanging on the wall, and I use it and those. and then it will also work when you put the guitar in the case. **Q: With this in the sound hole, can I make my guitar stand for space saving instead of lying it on the floor, of course, in its hard case? Thanks!** A: I have one in my Taylor Guitar now and don't see a problem. Two things: 1 - it's really just a sponge contained in a special case that hangs between the strings. So the only caution is to be careful to NOT over fill the sponge so it would drip out. But that caution is the same whether the guitar is standing up or laying down. 2 - I suggest having the guitar in the case while using this so it is more effective. Also, most manufactures recommend this so the fret-board also gains some moisture.Hope this answer helps. Let us know if you have other questions. **Q: Is this supposed to come with a sponge included? I just got mine and there was no sponge in it.** A: Yes there was a sponge included with mine. It is probably simple to cut one that would fit - .its kind of thin though. But why should you have to do that. They owe you a sponge. Contact them . Once you get the sponge, the humidifier works pretty well, but you have to check it - depending on how heated your apartment is - to make sure it hasn't dried out . ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good value *by C***J on May 9, 2026* still one of the best systems around...use it in all my guitars...right size for any acoustic ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality, easy to use. *by J***. on February 27, 2026* I like that the top can be removed. I can check if the sponge is dried out or still moist. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap, good, not great *by J***R on April 19, 2024* I've been on a mission around guitar humidifiers, so I've been trying several over the past couple of weeks. This one was very inexpensive, and it works pretty well, but not as good as some alternatives. I originally was disappointed with it and gave it 3 stars. But after using it a while, I came back and upgraded to 4 stars. PROs * It is inexpensive at $6.79 * It will put some humidity into a guitar body CONs * The sponge used is like a basic kitchen sponge material, not especially absorbant but not bad * The shape of the sponge container is too narrow at the bottom. Once soaked, the sponge does not slide all the way down into the plastic body. It sticks up * The lid is a bit awkward to take on and off. It has clips on the ends. It's not awful, but it's not designed to be convenient CONCLUSION If you're on a budget, this is the cheapest guitar humidifier I've found. It works ok but is a little less convenient than the Music Nomad humidifier. You can’t beat the price though, and it works fine. ALTERNATIVES Music Nomad Guitar Humidifier: I like the sponge, the plastic body is great, it clicks into space better, and the lid just flips up. It's over priced at $15 but works really well. They make another with a built in hygrometer. It's WAY overpriced at $29 and lacks bluetooth connectivity to the hygrometer. I like the $15 version, especially if you can get it on sale. I paid $6.79 for mine because the store I bought it from was out of the DAddario that was 6.79 so they made me a deal. (score!) DAddario PRO guitar humidifier - about $12 - I haven't tried this one. Perhaps it was designed to improve on this cheaper model. I may investigate it. I have a lot of guitars. It's worth a look, but if I were going to spend that I'd probably just get the music nomad. I do like that one a lot. DampIt Guitar Humidifiers - I have two of these I bought about 15 years ago. They still work. When I bought them, they were $3.25 each (2 for $6.50). Now they are $11.50 each or something. I was going to buy more until I saw the price...but come on guys. Do they work...yes, and you can hang multiples in your guitar. I also like that they don't push the strings very far out of tune while hydrating. But overpriced. One benefit of these is you can lay one alongside (but not right on) the neck in the guitar case and make sure you're getting some moisture there. All of the sponge humidifers above are one way hydration - meaning they can just ADD humidity. They also require rewetting every day or two, or whenever you want more humidity in the guitar case. They cannot REMOVE excess humidity. If you are in a dry climate, that's fine. But I hope you like wetting sponges daily and messing with it. Humidity Control Paks - Offered by D'Addario, the Humidipaks are kind of expensive ($25 per kit, and you need ~ 4 per year) but are designed to add or subtract a little humidity to bring the case and guitar to 55% (I think) and hold it there. They last about 3 months in theory. I bought some and by 2 days with the 3 packs in place and two Bluetooth hygrometers (one under the neck and one down inside the guitar body) both are reading 55%. You also need to "rehydrate" your guitar and case if it has gotten too dry, and for that you want their "RESTORE pak" which you use for a week or two. It is capable of adding a lot more humidity to the case and guitar and saves you money very just putting the MAINTAIN paks in, which will be used up rapidly and you'll need 3 or 4 sets to get the humidity to stabilize. Spend the money to start with the RESTORE kit to hydrate everything well, then use the MAINTAIN kit to hold it steady at the right humidity. I recommend buying a bluetooth or wifi enabled hygrometer (or two) so you can monitor the temp and humidity without opening the case. BOVEDA - makes the DAddario packets. They also sell their own. They make 70 gram, 49% packets which are their version of the "maintain" packets. For seasoning the case (i.e. RESTORE) they recommend the 72% packets (60 or 70 grams) for about 2 weeks then switching to the 49% packs. They used to be cheaper but now I think they are selling these for the same price or maybe $1 more for their equivalent "kit" to the Daddario. The benefit of the packets is you don't have to soak sponges, they can add or remove humidity not just add it, and they target the ideal range. From what I have read, their effectiveness varies depending on the local climate - for that reason, they do make some specialty packets - some that are designed for high humidity climates and can soak up more humidity, and BOVEDA offers packets in different sizes (grams) and humidity targets (49, 58, 62, 65, 72, 75, 84%). They make them for cigar humidors, weed jars, guitars, smaller instruments, etc. with a little experimentation you can dial in exactly what you need for your local climate. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Guitar Humidifier - Acoustic Guitar Soundhole Humidifier with Sponge - Non Drip - Suspends from Strings - D'Addario Guitar Humidifier System - Humidipak Maintain Kit - Automatic Humidity Control System - Maintenance-Free, Two-Way Humidity Control System For Guitars - MusicNomad (MN311) The Humitar ONE-Acoustic Guitar Humidifier & Hygrometer --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1364603-acoustic-guitar-soundhole-humidifier](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1364603-acoustic-guitar-soundhole-humidifier) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
