I have a Stage 3 Compact, as well as Yamaha Stage Piano, various amplifiers, pedals, etc.
I also keep my guitars in this room, so I have purchased a humidifier to bring up the humidity in the winter. Currently it is going as low as 30 % - would like to have it at or near the ideal 55% level so I can leave my guitars out.
Extra high naturally is not a problem, as I am in CA. Our Summer humidity stays in the 45 - 60 % range, usually around 50%.
Is there are danger to my electronics if I use this room humidifier to bring it up to 50 - 60%?
Thanks,
Greg

Re: Music Room Humidity
Living in Switzerland, with my studio in the basement, I have the opposite problem. I need to use a dehumidifier to stop my concrete walls from getting waterlogged, and I generally target keeping the humidity around 55-60%. Depending on the season, if I leave it turned off for a few days it gets up into the 70s. I have never noticed any detrimental effects on my electronics.

Re: Music Room Humidity
I have a similar situation like CountFosco, in both my basement and in our rehearsal room - also have not noticed any negative impacts

Re: Music Room Humidity
I learned that I would have to achieve a humidity between 50~60% in the flat - for the wooden furniture, at least not less. Of course, humidity may involve rust and oxidation - but to get a problem with electronics, you have to get close to 100% (which may invoke condensation water and short circuits). We have an old radio in the bathroom where we often have clouds of humidity around - it never had a problem.
Outside a few regions in the world (among which CA), humidity above 50% should be normal.

The only hazard I can think of depends on the type of humidifier and proximity:
The ultrasonic type emit a mist of atomized water droplets. If too close to any surface, the risk of condensation exists.
The evaporative humidifiers emit heated water vapor, so the risks are (over)heating electronics and condensation.
