The violin is a very valuable instrument, it is made of wood, the influence of sound quality is very important. Therefore, to maintain the sound quality of the violin, we need to provide it with a suitable humidity environment. The violin will have different sound performance in different humidity environments.
The function of the hygrometer is to provide us with a real-time humidity display of the environment in which the violin is located, helping us better grasp the time to adjust the humidity.
In fact, not only violin, any wood products should fully consider the humidity factor, this is because wood has a very important property - wet deformation. Wood in dry conditions will continue to shrink, and in a wet environment will quickly expand. For violin, too high or too low humidity will have a serious impact on it. Therefore, how to maintain the appropriate humidity environment has become an important part of violin care.
In the case of too low humidity environment, violin wood will crack, thin and other problems, affecting the service life and sound quality. Too much humidity will affect the tension of the strings, and even cause the wood to embrittlement and darken the color. If you do not pay enough attention to the humidity environment of the violin wood, it is difficult to ensure that its sound quality and appearance can be maintained in the best condition. Therefore, it is undoubtedly necessary to equip the violin case with a hygrometer.
In fact, there is a certain humidity inside the violin, the violin body is made of sparse wood, so the violin gap is very large, can allow moisture to freely enter and escape the violin, but if the humidity is too high or too low, it will have a bad effect on the violin.
The violin case with a hygrometer allows us to monitor the humidity environment of the violin in real time and increase or decrease the humidity at the right time. The hygrometer can help us more effectively avoid problems such as cracking of the violin, and at the same time help us maintain the sound quality of the violin and keep it in the best condition. Of course, in order to better maintain the violin, it is also necessary to perform regular testing and calibration of the hygrometer.
In summary, the violin case equipped with a hygrometer is very necessary for the protection of the violin and the maintenance of sound quality. The hygrometer can help us grasp the humidity environment of the violin in real time, so that the humidity can be adjusted in time to avoid the violin deformation, embrittlement and other problems. Therefore, the practice of using a hygrometer to maintain the violin can not only ensure the long-term preservation and use of the violin, but also allow us to obtain better sound quality in the performance.
