I live in the deep and humid south. Our winters are dry sometimes. For you guys in the know, what percentage would be considered "low" humidity conditions?

Steve or is it
John Sprague? John is a member her as well but doesn't Post all that much.
Dampits can cause more harm than help. Search this Dampit subject over here or start a new thread in the Luthier section.
