Seasonal Instrument Repair Tips for Brooklyn
- Keep instruments at 45–55% relative humidity through radiator season — dry winter apartments crack tops and shrink fretboards.
- Let a cold instrument acclimate in its case for a few hours before opening it to avoid finish checking.
- Summer humidity swells tops and raises action — a seasonal setup keeps your instrument playing right year-round.
