There were a few key features that Oasis felt were essential for a sound hole humidifier. First, it should provide the correct amount of humidify for a good period of time between refills. Second, it should be easy to determine when the humidifier needs to be refilled. Third, installation and removal should be easy to accomplish in a short period of time. Finally, they concluded that using soft materials for the humidifier would reduce the chance of scratching the strings or denting the guitar surface in case the guitar was dropped accidentally. You will find all of these features represented in the Oasis Guitar Humidifier.
Hand-crafted in America, Oasis is the best solution to the challenge of guitar humidification. Whether you play a flat top steel string or a nylon string classical guitar, you have made a significant investment in a quality instrument. It is far less expensive to have an effective, easy to use guitar humidifier than it is to repair a cracked guitar. Give Oasis a try and you will see how well it works!
The Oasis® Guitar Humidifier:
The body of Oasis® is made from a specially designed fabric that allows water vapor (but not water) to pass through it. As the vapor transmission takes place, a vacuum is created and Oasis® shrinks to compensate for the loss of water. By watching the Oasis® shrink, you can determine when it is ready for refill. When refilling, you don't have to guess when it is full. Simply unscrew the black cap, fill with water to the top of the container and replace the cap. Once sealed, the water tight container is your first line of defense against leaks. Humigel™, the super absorbent polymer crystals inside Oasis™, are your second line of defense. Humigel™ captures up to 500 times its weight in water in an absorbent gel matrix.
Like other "sound hole" humidifiers, Oasis® fits between the strings of your instrument. The materials that touch your strings are relatively soft and will not scratch your strings. A blue polyurethane stabilizing bar fits over the neck of the humidifier. Once positioned in the sound hole, the stabilizing bar lies across the guitar strings to ensure even weight distribution. Oasis® never touches the body of your instrument.

The Oasis Case Humidifier:
The huge success of our original Blue Oasis "sound-hole" humidifier has brought many inquiries about ways to provide humidification for other instruments including violins, violas, cellos, mandolins, ukuleles, jazz guitars and guitars with flat top cases.
After careful consideration, we decided that the best approach to solving this challenge was to develop a humidifier that attaches to the inside of the instrument case. Finding a secure way to attach the humidifier to the inside of the case, and still have it easily removed and re-attached, was no small challenge.
Starting with our proven technology, the Blue Oasis® humidifier, we inserted two neodymium magnets in the seam of the humidifier*. The magnets then attach to the instrument case using either a steel belt style clip or a stainless steel strip with adhesive backing. The belt style clip fits over the side of the case and provides a flat vertical surface for the magnets to adhere. The adhesive backed stainless steel strip allows for either vertical or horizontal attachment anywhere there is a flat surface inside the case**. An advantage of this type of humidifier is the flexibility to position the humidifier in a wide variety of locations within your instrument case.
The Oasis Ukulele Humidifier:
The newest humidifier has two unique features:
- The mounting system allows the humidifier to hang horizontally inside the ukulele rather than vertical (like the guitar humidifier).
- Secondly, the humidity output is about 50% of the Royal Blue Oasis guitar humidifier, to accommodate the smaller instrument size. This also allows the humidifier to last twice as long between refills.
The Oasis +Plus Model Humidifiers:
The Plus+ is the same size and shape as the original blue Oasis®, but is made of a different material which provides 50% more humidity output.
Because the Plus+ is the same size as the original Blue Oasis® and it has 50% greater humidity output, it will be necessary to refill the Oasis® Plus+ more frequently than the original Blue Oasis®.
