Rob;
 Providing "humidify control" is rather doubful, but the jar of water 'will' 
raise the humidity level within the confines of the instrument...of course it 
works best if the jar is kept supplied with water :-)  This is a 'tween', 
that is to say it is between an "old wives tale" and an absolutely 
indisputable fact.
