Expensive strings are also more likely to rust and break. Humidity also causes serious damage: wood can swell, warp, twist, and crack. Glue softens, and joints open. Dampness also encourages mildew, and pest infestations such as weevils, mites, bow-bugs, and woodworm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Bows,\u003c\/strong\u003e moisture in the air is absorbed by the 'porous' horse hair and causes the hair to swell, and lengthen. To compensate, string-players must then over-tighten the bow-screw, which alters the balance-point of the bow, and affects playability. There is also a danger of a bow with damp hair 'seemingly' being loosened after use, only to become tight again and shrink on a dry day. Hence a musician who thought they had stored their bow on a relaxed state, will open their case to find the hairs tight, and an unnecessary strain exerted on their precious bow. Humidity also makes a bow's silver finger-grips tarnish at an accelerated rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eM.U.D. helps to maintain a consistent environment and stop these problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstructions for M.U.D.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the M.U.D. vial into your instrument case.

M.U.D. has a naturally built-in colour indicator, which shows you how much moisture has been absorbed. When completely dry, M.U.D. is a light sandy colour. As moisture is absorbed over a period of time, M.U.D. changes its hue to a darker 'reddish-mahogany' colour. When this occurs, it is then time to reactivate your M.U.D.
