Wood instruments are happiest in the right environment. The Ortega Hygro-Thermometer helps you keep an eye on the conditions your ukulele lives in.
This compact monitor measures both temperature and relative humidity, giving you a quick visual readout so you know when conditions are ideal—or when your instrument might need a little extra care.
The clear LCD display shows temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit and humidity levels with an easy-to-read DRY / OK / WET indicator, helping you maintain the recommended 45%–55% humidity range that keeps wood instruments stable and healthy.
Designed for flexible placement, the unit can sit on a table using the fold-out stand, mount to a wall, or attach to metal surfaces using the built-in rear magnet—perfect for music rooms, studios, or inside instrument cabinets.
A small tool that can save your instrument from big problems.
