Review: I am a viola/violin collector and I've been using Dampit and similar products for a while. I tried other alternatives to Dampit (as they are hard to find sometimes!), but there is no comparison - Dampit is the best value for money, better quality that will last, and works superior compared to other similar products. I also use it on my acoustic guitars and ukeleles. I currently have about a dozen Dampits and I switch them around in my collection. Review: If you live in a climate that gives you winter, you HAVE to have this thing. It keeps your instrument humidified and therefore keeps the body from cracking in the dry winter months. Do not listen to those who tremble with fear over putting water inside the instrument. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS provided with the Dampit. You soak it in water and then squeeze out the excess so it is not dripping and dry off the outside. Then shove it in the F hole. It will save your violin. ## Features - The ORIGINAL Dampit, Not An imitation! - For Violin - Humidifies - Protects - Made Of The Finest Materials - Long-Lasting - Easy To Use - Dampits Have Been Protecting Wood Instruments Since 1966 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000HA65W0 | | Best Sellers Rank | 16,814 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 61 in String Instrument Cleaning & Care | | Body Material | Wood | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (321) | | Date First Available | 30 July 2006 | | Item Weight | 23 g | | Item model number | 4334272332 | | Product Dimensions | 1.78 x 19.81 x 9.91 cm; 23 g | ## Images ![The Original Violin Humidifier - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FjZ+8XBAL.jpg) ![The Original Violin Humidifier - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711asfE3XsL.jpg) ![The Original Violin Humidifier - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6189-5tV+qL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this fit a 7/8 violin?** A: It all depends on the size of the circles of the f holes. Dampits does not fit even for the full size violins with the smaller f holes. The minimum circle size must be 8 mm. **Q: What is the diameter of this Dampit? I need to know the diameter of the largest part that inserts inside the instrument, the end plug.** A: Without actually measuring I'd guess the diameter is less than one-half inch. **Q: If I live in Florida, do you think I need one of these?** A: I don't live in Florida. Hence I don't know the year round humidity there. I used to go to Tampa, Melbourne, Orlando, West Palm Beach all the time, and every time I went the place was quite humid. If the year round humidity is at least 50%, I really don't think you need a Dampit. It also depends on where you leave your violin on a daily basis most of the time. It makes a difference if you leave your violin in the open (in a room) versus in a case. I leave my violin in the open and when I put violin in a case, I usually put in the dampit before I close the case. **Q: Is there only one in the package, because I want one for each f hole.** A: There is only one humidifier in the package. It seems to be enough. Also, if you use only one in the right f-hole, it can never touch the soundpost. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***4 on 6 March 2022* I am a viola/violin collector and I've been using Dampit and similar products for a while.

I live in a very dry part of the country, and have looked into room as well as instrument humidifiers to keep my instruments happy. Since I haven't found the perfect room humidifier for my needs yet, and other instrument humidifiers are kind of fussy or weird, I went with Dampit again. Dampits have stood the test of time for me for thirty years. They're inexpensive and effective. Yes, they need checking and maintenance, but with good water and proper use they will last for years. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Original Dampit Violin Humidifier - D'Addario Accessories Small Instrument Humidifier - The Original Dampit Viola Humidifier --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/641449554-the-original-violin-humidifier](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/641449554-the-original-violin-humidifier) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
