Abstract
The relative humidity surrounding 197 musical instruments, 84 of which were string instruments including several Stradivarius, was stabilized inside 38 showcases. Thirteen quintals (100 kilograms) of silica gel were used for this purpose. The relative humidity was monitored constantly during the last four years and recordings show that variations never exceeded 2% daily, 4% monthly and 7% yearly. The silica gel was not modified in any way during this time. -- AATA
