For complete confidence that your guitar is getting the humidification it needs in dry seasons without worrying about your humidifier leaking or hurting your instrument, check out the original blue Oasis^® guitar humidifier. The OH-1 guitar humidifier is a sound-hole humidifier designed to maintain 45-55% relative humidity inside the guitar body when the humidity outside the case is between 25-40%, provided that the guitar is already hydrated. The OH-1 is not designed to restore humidity to a dried out guitar. The OH-1 is our most popular model. Each Oasis^® OH-1 comes with a stabilizer bar for mounting the humidifier and a 10 cc. syringe for distilled water filling control.
This is one of the most important proactive instrument care purchases you can make. We have come across many people who have experienced cracking and warping and shrinkage due to poorly maintained humidity levels for their instruments. 

Oasis Guitar Humidifier Features:

• Long-lasting humidification
• Easy to use
• 2 levels of leak protection
• Inserts in your guitar quickly and safely
• Protects your guitar from dangerous humidity changes

With the success with the GPX™ classical guitar strings, Oasis decided to use their experience with fluorocarbon monofilament to create a series of ukulele strings. Working with a leading ukulele internet forum they developed two basic sets: bright (UKE 8000 series) or warm (UKE 8100 series). Both sets are available with either a high or low G string (4th string). The high G string is the same fluorocarbon material used on the other three strings. The low G (4th) has a nylon core with a round wire wrap made of silver plated copper. This is the same material used to create the Sustenuto™ classical guitar bass strings. The low G plays an octave below the high G.
The first thing you will notice about Oasis Fluorocarbon Ukulele strings is their length (63”). This length is at least twice as long as the length needed to string a concert, soprano or tenor ukulele. It is recommended that before using the string you cut the string in half with scissors. Use one section immediately and put one length of the string back in the envelope for future use. If you happen to have a low G set, the low G (4th) has two individual 39” lengths of the wound string in one envelope. Do not cut these strings before use.

The ukulele is often known for its happy sound. No matter how dark or salty the lyrics may be, there is still a shred of light joy coming out of the tiny four-stringed instrument. Or at least that is what people will tell you. The songs in this book are for those who can handle the salty side of the ukulele, the lustier of lyrics and the bawdiest of ballads. This collection is perfect for when you are in the mood to have a rage play on your tiny ax, shed a few tears while strumming, or to set the mood when feeling a little randy. Whatever dark and twisty reasons you have for picking up your ukulele today, try one of these Bawdy Ballads and you will find the joy in playing something a little more tangled than your typical ukulele songbook.
