I have a music recording studio in my home. Are the humidification systems loud?

Our humidification systems including dehumidification are designed to be nearly silent so that our guitar displays can be placed in any professional recording studio or rooms that require virtually silent environments to avoid mic bleed. Our guitar storage cabinets utilize a high-efficiency fan that is no louder than a laptop fan, which circulates the moisture throughout the cabinet almost silently. Furthermore, our guitar dehumidification system utilizes a solid-state polymer ionic membrane to electrolytically decompose and remove moisture from the air by electrolysis, making it silent as well.

Do you offer other custom design pieces such as desks, and other gear storage?

Yes, check out our custom page for a look at freestanding pieces from custom cigar humidors to violin display cabinets, musician’s and writing desks, vinyl storage, and more designed and handcrafted in our Pennsylvania custom shop.
