I use a sponge in the case. Just a bit goes a long way in an enclosed area. Good luck!
Yes, it does! I received a Kala soprano travel Uke this week from The Ukelele Site (from whom I’ve bought 3 ukes so far and been very pleased with their set up and service). They filled up the included Humistat prior to shipping, I guess figuring end of winter in North Carolina would be pretty dry compared to Hawaii. We’ve been unseasonably warm and the humidity has been 60+ percent for the past few days. Poor little guy arrived in great shape but a step and a half sharp, lol, even with the new nylon strings that are still settling in. I’ve also overshot once in a while with the Kyser sound hole humidifiers for guitars. No damage, and they’re good when you need them, but having whole house humidity control has been worth every penny, and my instruments stay happy as well...
OP, I’ll wager you get 2-4 points increase with the dryer rack move, though you’ll have to keep doing laundry to maintain results! Definitely keep us posted...

Update: Humidity rose to 46% and held over night then dropped back to 36%
If you do laundry daily you may make it work.

Get a "big" sponge and set it in the room on your drying rack for the days you aren't doing laundry.

I've not tried this, but it's been discussed on this forum that the addition of well-watered potted house plants into a room where instruments are kept will keep the humidity levels at a reasonable range.

It sounds reasonable and could be worth a try.

"I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
