Project Overview:
It is common for Musical Instruments to be damaged by dampness. This project aims at the maintenance and protection of expensive woodwind instruments.

Wet and Dry
Both dry and wet air can cause instruments to crack. Once cracked, the player will be faced with expensive repair costs. The main one is irreversible damage to the instrument
48 Parts on average
Woodwind instruments have complex internal structures.
These tiny parts are very easy to hide wet and moisture
Fussy maintenance
After playing, not only do you need to apply lubricating oil to the various joints and keys of the instrument, but you also need to carefully clean the moisture inside the instrument with a cleaning cloth
“Woodwind instruments are very expensive, and they are also very fragile. If the player does not thoroughly clean the moisture inside the instrument. This can cause the instrument to crack and rust and damage the instrument.”
Is it a Case? Or is it a Stand?
For musicians and students studying musical instruments, the most convenient carrier for dehumidifying musical instruments is not a case but an instrument stand. Because they will put their instruments on the instrument stand before they finish their practice.
How The Airflows Move?
The air flow of The dehumidifier starts from The Top fan Layer and goes to The vents next to The Moisture tank.
There are two vents next to moisture tank.
Music Metaphor... Treble Clef.
Moldable water tank is important; also flow the body's shapes.
Test the Full Scale...
Compare the size of the adapter and the real instrument the Full ScaleCompare the height of the dehumidifier with the height of the userDetermine whether the dehumidifier is compatible with the real environment
Dedicated Adapters
Different instruments use different adapters to meet users' more requirements
The automated sensors are designed to allow the device to work autonomously when the user places the instrument on the stand
