Protection and climate
Our rule of thumb for string instruments is 40 to 50 per cent relative humidity at around 20 °C.
In dry air, the top of a cello can crack. A humidifier inside the instrument and slow acclimatisation after every change of location help to prevent this.
As wood moisture rises, the internal damping (energy lost within the wood) increases, so a cello can sound duller. Storage at controlled humidity keeps the damping constant.
Our experience
Our experience: we prefer to ship a cello in a case, because without one we have seen transport damage more often.
