Model: OH-18

We met Fred Kamaka Jr. of Kamaka Ukulele at the 2007 NAMM show in Anaheim. The air at the show was very dry and he was concerned about his ukuleles developing cracks. At the time, we only had the OH-1 guitar humidifier to offer him, so that is what he used at the show to protect his ukuleles. Fred made it very clear that we needed to come up with a humidifier specifically designed for the ukulele. In response, we developed the OH-18 ukulele humidifier. It is the same size as the OH-1 humidifier, but has a special hanger which allows the humidifier to hang at an angle from the strings inside the ukulele soundhole. Because the ukulele is a smaller instrument, it needs less supplemental humidification than a guitar. The humidity reduction was accomplished by modifying the liner for the OH-18 ukulele humidifier. The OH-18 ukulele humidifier comes with the special ukulele stabilizer and a 10 cc syringe for increased distilled water filling control.

Because tap and bottled water have dissolved minerals that can clog the liner, distilled water is recommended to extend the useful life of your humidifier.

Model: OH-26

The OH-26 Mandolin Humidifier is a modified version of our OH-6 Case Humidifier. It is shorter than the OH-6, so it can stand upright in a lower depth mandolin case. It comes with a shorter clip than the OH-6 to fit the reduced depth of the mandolin case. The clip also has a wider top so it can span the side of a thicker plush case. The humidity output is reduced from that of the OH-6 because the area to be humidified is smaller. The OH-26 holds about 1/3rd less water than the OH-6 and only takes two syringes to fill it the first time. The OH-26 will only fit cases where there is an open area for the humidifier to fit (F style). It will not fit a case where the body of the mandolin is completely form fitted to the case on all sides (A style). A stainless steel strip with two sided tape and a 10 cc syringe are also included with the OH-26 Mandolin Humidifer.
Because tap and bottled water have dissolved minerals that can clog the liner, distilled water is recommended to extend the useful life of your humidifier.

Model: OH-32

Extreme Dry Weather Protection
If you are located in an extremely dry climate (20-25% RH), the OH-18 Ukulele humidifier may not provide sufficient humidity. If that is your situation, the OH-32 will do the job. It is the same as our OH-5, but comes with the ukulele stabilizer bar rather than a guitar stabilizer bar.
