Why Boveda: A humidity-balancing solution for instrument cases in drippy locations (over 50% annual humidity). Prevents instrument distortion and mold growth inside the case. Protects frets, bows, and woodwind instruments from humidity fluctuations and maintains ideal humidity levels inside the instrument case. For use with Boveda Starter Kits or fabric holders. Natural ingredients. Quality guaranteed! If you're not 100% satisfied, we'll give you a full refund up to one year.
How Highly Absorbent Boveda Benefits Your Instrument: Boveda absorbs three times as much moisture as 49% RH. Even in extreme humidity conditions, it stabilizes humidity within the ideal range of 45-55% RH. If the air inside the case is too humid, Boveda absorbs it. If it's too dry, Boveda releases a small amount of water vapor into the case. Wide humidity fluctuations cause the wood to expand or contract, stressing the instrument and reducing its performance.
CHOOSE BOVEDA: Trusted by over 3 million people to protect & maintain their items at the perfect humidity level. Boveda is the only patented 2-way humidity control solution with 25 years of experience. Our humidity packs use salt water to provide the fastest, most accurate humidity control on the market for wood instruments. When investing in an instrument, you want to ensure it's properly maintained to produce optimal sound. Boveda is the only humidity solution that does it within 24-48 hours.
Directions for Use: Always place Boveda packs in protective Boveda Fabric Holders before using in your instrument case. Boveda Fabric Holders are available separately in the Boveda Starter Kit. Remove pack from resealable bag. Do not cut or open brown moisture pouch. Place packet in holder. Place in case and close lid. BOVEDA DOES THE REST. When the highly absorbent Boveda 49% RH expands, it's time to replace the pack. Do not mix 49% RH with other % RH.
What is Highly Absorbent Boveda?: Musicians who live in extreme humidity year-round and struggle to maintain the right RH for instrument storage use Boveda HA 49 for acoustic & electric guitars, woodwind & boarding instruments. Professional musicians, band & orchestra leaders, instrument technicians, music teachers, hobbyists, and student musicians use Boveda packs for easy and precise humidity control in their instrument cases. No daily maintenance required. Why risk warping, cracking, or mast cases on your instrument?
Love your instrument—for effortless humidity protection, use Boveda. With 25 years in the industry, Boveda is a trusted and experienced brand in relative humidity control. But what does it mean? Relative humidity (RH) refers to the percentage of humidity in an environment. In other words, it answers the question, "How humid or dry is the air inside your instrument case?" Boveda's founders and scientists discovered that proper RH has a significant impact on the performance and sound of your wood instrument and the protection of its structure. With Boveda, you can maintain a precise moisture level of 45-55% RH, eliminating moldy odors in your instrument case. For wooden instruments exposed to high humidity year-round, use the BOVEDA High Absorption Humidifier/Dehumidifier Pack. Simply slip the Boveda into the fabric holder (available separately), place it in your case, and forget about it until the pack expands. Once it does, simply replace it with a replacement pack. (Unlike Boveda 49% RH humidity packs, the highly absorbent Boveda packs do not become hard or crunchy when they need to be replaced.)
(No.) Each Boveda High Absorbency 49-pack lasts 1-6 months. Its lifespan depends on how often you open your case, how airtight your case is, and the dryness and humidity of your climate. Maintains proper humidity in your instrument case for: guitar, acoustic, electric bass, guitarron, hollowbody, nylon string & semi-hollowbody, fretted instruments including banjo, mandolin, and ukulele; stringed instruments including cello/violin, double bass/upright bass, hollow bass, viola & violin; and woodwind instruments including bass clarinet, bassoon, clarinet, and oboe.
