If you hang guitars, you probably own both halves of this product already. A wall hanger you like looking at, and a little plastic hygrometer sitting on a shelf somewhere across the room. They have been sold separately since the eighties, and nobody seemed to notice how strange that is.
The two-device problem
Wall hangers kept getting nicer because people display their guitars like art. Hygrometers never got that memo. They still look like something out of a hospital supply catalog, so they end up on a bookshelf, a desk, or in a drawer where nobody reads them. Meanwhile the guitar hangs in open air on the most exposed wall in the room, which is exactly where humidity swings hit first.
So the instrument sits in one microclimate and the sensor reports on another. You can do everything right and still get blindsided by a dry January, because the number you were trusting came from ten feet away.
The most dangerous place for a guitar is the wall. So that is exactly where the sensor belongs.
What HygroMount actually is
HygroMount is a guitar wall mount with a hygrometer and thermometer built into the base. It holds up to 60 pounds, reads humidity to within 2 percent and temperature to within 1 degree, and puts the number on a display right above the yoke. You see it every time you walk past your guitar, which turns out to be the entire trick. Nobody checks a hygrometer in a drawer. Everybody looks at their guitar.
- No Wi-Fi and no app. The reading is on the wall, always current, nothing to pair or charge.
- No second device. The mount and the sensor are one object with one install.
- Reads where it matters. The sensor sits inches from the headstock, in the same air the guitar breathes.
- Looks like it belongs. Matte black, low profile, quiet next to the instrument it protects.
The most common reaction we get: people assume this already existed. It did not. That is the whole story of why we made it.

Why this matters if you hang guitars
A guitar in a case has a buffer. The case slows down every humidity swing, and a soundhole humidifier can hold the safe zone for weeks. A guitar on the wall has none of that. It trades protection for visibility, and most players never replace the protection they gave up. If the instrument lives in open air, the humidity reading needs to come from that air, not from a sensor in a different part of the room. Curious where your room sits today?

We built HygroMount because we hang our own guitars and got tired of that gap. It is not a complicated idea. It is the thing that should have shipped with every wall hanger since 1985, and it costs about what a shop charges to restring.
