ballcorner Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I bought a bunch off eBay from China. They all match my expensive electronic John Pearse hygrometer but cost $43 less each. With shipping they were $8 per unit. You can usually find them under hygrometer search but you should also try cigar humidor as sometimes Chinglish grammar is not all it's cracked up to be. Certainly, the hygrometers I mention are being marketed to the cigar smokers. If you really want the John Pearse model it is the most accurate I have found. Still, the Chinese ones I ordered from Hong Kong give the same reading. I ordered 24 and all of them were bang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballcorner Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Here is a link for a USA-based auction. The same brand, but different model, is available from CA for about $4 each. These are similar to the ones I mentioned above. http://cgi.ebay.ca/Bobelock-Instrument-Case-Hygrometer_W0QQitemZ130219516707QQihZ003QQcategoryZ41403QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Looking for something to monitor the humidity level inside the guitar case. I have a little pet python and inside his terrarium is a combo hydrometer/thermometer (2 dials)....it cost around 20-30 bucks at the pet store. I might grab another for my guitar case...it's small enough and i think it would work just fine. the pet store had several to choose from, so anyone looking for one and can't find one maybe check out your local pet store! keep in mind that small analog hydrometers (even the better "brand" name ones like mine) are notoriously inaccurate. But it's a good ball park and better than nothing. Thermometers on the other hand tend to be fairly accurate. digital hydrometers might be better, dunno.

ballcorner Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Another place to buy hygrometers - found this one after work today. This is the same seller who provides them on eBay from a US address. http://www.woodworkingparts.com/parts/clocks/weather.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
