Clarinet reeds need to be kept at around 50% to 80% relative humidity. This is very hard to maintain without some sort of sensor, and this project helps to give me a better idea about what the humidity inside of my reed case would be. A new value is read about every 5 seconds. The humidity readings are presented on an LCD display and corresponding lights glow red or green. Green means it is in the "good" humidity range, which is 50% to 80%, and red means it is in the "bad" humidity range, 0%-49% and 81%-100%. Tuning is also an essential part of being a musical and the piezo speaker that is activated by the pushbutton helps you to hear a correctly tuned "A."
