violins need humidifiers under certain circumstances. Humidifiers are not needed at all times – only when the air is extremely dry outside or the relative humidity is changing drastically. Violin humidifiers protect wood instruments and allow for the regularization of moisture in the air.

Protect your violin from excessive dry conditions with this Glaesel humidifier. Simply saturate with distilled or clean cold water, dry and squeeze out all excess water, and store inside your instrument while in its case.
Because violins are made mostly of wood, violinists need to make sure that their precious instruments are properly protected by maintaining humidity levels. If the air around the violin is too dry, the wood can crack.
Ensuring that the proper humidity levels are kept can be done by purchasing a violin humidifier. Read on for my recommendations on when to use them and what your options are.
Under extremely dry conditions, like a dry desert area, a violin humidifier can prevent cracks and keep your violin more in tune. On the flip side, if the humidity level is too high, the wood and the glue can absorb the moisture causing the wood to swell. Either way, if the violin is exposed to extreme changes of moisture, open seams or cracking can occur. In order to avoid that, getting either a case humidifier, a room humidifier, or an internal violin humidifier can help you maintain humidity levels and thus protect your instrument.
The ideal humidity level for a violin is between 40% and 60%
