Hawaii’s tropical beauty poses a hidden threat to acoustic instruments, which are built to thrive at a stable 50% humidity level. "Wet" zones like the Windward side can cause wood to swell and action to rise, while heavy A/C use in Honolulu can dangerously dry out instruments, leading to cracks. Protecting your gear requires knowing your specific microclimate: keep instruments in hard cases, monitor levels with a hygrometer, and use the appropriate humidity control packs to balance the air.
