Welcome to the world of Boveda, the maintenance-free, two-way humidity control system for woodwind (fretted, bowed, and more) instruments, including: acoustic guitars and basses, guitarrones, cellos, double basses, bass clarinets, bassoons, and large cases. Boveda creates the ideal humidity balance for your wooden instrument, regardless of environmental conditions. Protect your cases effectively with Boveda.
Get started with Boveda. Safe, reliable, and simple.
Boveda simplifies humidity management for your wooden (fretted, bowed, and more) instruments. It automatically humidifies and dehumidifies based on your instrument's needs.
No more foams, hoses, and sponges that require constant attention and can damage your instrument, alter its sound and playability, and lead to costly repairs.
Boveda achieves and maintains a constant relative humidity (RH) level between 45% and 55%, the optimal range for wooden instruments.
Uses only pure water and natural salts, sealed in a leak-proof membrane.
How to use Boveda in your instrument case:
Remove the plastic packaging from the Boveda. (Do not open the Boveda itself.)
Simply slide the unwrapped Boveda into the fabric pouch(es) of its leak-proof holder. (A Boveda fabric holder is soft, like a polishing cloth.)
Place the Boveda in the case and close the lid. Always keep your case closed when using Boveda.
No maintenance for months! At first, Boveda needs some time to regulate the humidity, so your first Boveda will last less time than subsequent ones. After your first set, Boveda will last from 2 to 6 months depending on the time of year, climate, and your case. Replace it when it becomes rigid.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT BOVEDA STARTER KIT FOR YOUR INSTRUMENT:
Size L is suitable for bowed and string instruments (acoustic guitars, etc.). Contains: 4 Boveda Size 70 packs (49% relative humidity) and 2 double fabric holders (2 pouches): 12.5" x 4.25" (unfolded); 6.6" x 4.25" (folded).
Small size is for woodwind (bowed string, etc.) instruments. Contains: 2 Boveda Size 70 packs and 1 single fabric holder (1 pouch): 6" x 4.25".
Always insert the Boveda pack into a fabric holder before placing it in your instrument case. Do not mix different relative humidity levels of Boveda packs in the same case. Also, do not use Boveda packs with other humidification products in the same case, as they will counteract each other and reduce the efficiency of the Boveda packs.
