Default Taking Proper care of your Acoustic Instrument

As you may know the proper humidity is nessicary to keep your acoustic instrument in good shape. I believe it is between 40-60% humidity is the recomended level. Finished instruments help protect agunist these effects. I saw a brand new set of unfinished Gretch drums crack into pieces due to dryness from a long cold winter. The owner took no precautions to humidify the room that the drums were in, and after a few months of dryness, the set had been destroyed. Just because an instrument is new, does not make it safe from the elements, espically if it is unfinished. what is your expierence with this? do you take proper precautions during the winter season to treat your acoustic room with humidity?
