I like to monitor and regulate my RH%, particularly in my music room.  I have humidifiers and a de-humidifier to keep me within an ideal range, but I also keep a couple of hygrometers around to monitor the numbers.  Last month, while traveling, my music room hygrometer disappeared (I later discovered that my 14yo daughter "borrowed" it), so I ordered a SensorPush Wireless Hygrometer for Christmas.

It works like any standard hygrometer, except that it automatically tracks readings every minute, which gets transmitted onto a smartphone app.  As a result, I can see how my RH% changes with the temperature, how it changes during the night (while I'm asleep) or during the day (while I'm at work).  It will even send me an alert if my temp or RH fall outside of a high/low range that I created, which is super helpful if I forget to empty/fill my dehumidifier/humidifiers.

It's the perfect gift for an information geek like me!

The battery lasts 1-2 years and is easily replaceable.  Amazon carries another brand for less than half the price, but this one looked good and had favorable reviews, so I splurged.

There are more photos in the link, but here's mine from this morning.  Things are very stable right now, although I did take the temp down last night, so I can see how the RH reacted to that change.  I think I'm going to learn a LOT with this device, especially in my summer, when temps swing 40 degrees, outside RH changes 40% daily, and I run my house fan to cool things off.

Stumbled across this tremendous acoustic version of Hey Joe  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMGwomp6oKM

Found this vid of Jimi playing acoustic guitar (one of only two extant recordings). The second of the tunes is I guess of most interest to historians of rock.

By all accounts he was a tremendous acoustic guitarist - oh to have one CD of him playing unplugged! What strikes me is his feel for the blues. At the time in the late 1960s, It never struck me how he was in the process of expanding the electric blues sound. Listening now to his music I realize that he was always primarily a bluesman.

** Created thread for Pluteus to add Eastman Catalogs

Pluteus - please click "New Reply" and then at the bottom, click "Add Attachment" and add the catalogs you've acquired.  Thanks a bunch for the help, appreciated!

Spotted a new-style pick which wraps around the finger to anchor it. I bought three to try out. Takes some getting used to but could be especially useful for those who've suffered loss of digital dexterity/grip due to strokes or spinal injuries and similar.

I just joined up , and I am happy to be here. I have loved Eastman guitars since about 2008. I bought my first Eastman in around 2008 or 2009. It was an AC320. I have also owned several of the older models(AC420,AC520,E6D, E8D). My favorite was the AC520, but I sold it because the necks on the older models were too slim for me. I love to repair,build, and play acoustic guitars. I look forward to posting and chatting with other members.
