ABSTRACT:
A humidity modifying device for guitars, and similar musical instruments which are susceptible to damage such as cracking, splitting, etc. when subjected to deleterious humidity conditions. Such instruments characteristically have a sound box formed from wood, strings and a sound hole underlying the strings. The humidity modifying device comprises a resilient plug adapted to be disposed in the sound hole with a sealing fit and having a humidity modifying material, such as a moisture retentive sponge-like pad or desiccant cartridge, secured to the inner surface of the plug to maintain desired humidity conditions within the sound box. Preferably the moisture-retentive means or desiccant is retained within a pocket or chamber within the plug by means of a closure plate supported by a flange formed in the bottom surface of the plug.
