What's the best way to protect a wood instrument like a guitar from changes in humidity?

Boveda—it's precise, automatic and maintenance-free. Just load the packs into the fabric holder, slip them into your guitar or instrument case and your work is done. (No more wetting and rewetting sponges and hoses!)

For months, Boveda will maintain the perfect humidity balance for that instrument—whatever its surroundings call for. And protect against humidity fluctuations that can damage an instrument, affect its sound and playability and cost you money (and time) at the repair shop.

How Bourgeois Protects Handmade Guitars

Played by acoustic luminaries, Bourgeois Guitars are intimately crafted. The wood for each instrument is carefully sourced, treated and sculpted to achieve the best tone. This unwavering attention to detail doesn’t stop once the instrument leaves a luthier's hands. Each Bourgeois acoustic guitar is shipped with Boveda, the effortless way to keep fine wood instruments at the right humidity level.

Information

HOW TO USE:

Remove Boveda's plastic wrapper. (Do not open the Boveda itself.)
Insert both of the unwrapped Boveda into the pouch of its protective fabric holder.
Place in the case anywhere that allows for airflow and prevents puncture when you close the case:
- Under the neck or headstock
- On the strings
- Open area in the case
Close the case's lid. Always keep your case closed when using Boveda.

Always insert Boveda into a pouch of a Boveda fabric holder before placing in an instrument case. The fabric holder allows Boveda to last longer and work better and acts as a liquid barrier if a packet is accidentally punctured.

Do not mix different Boveda RH levels within the same instrument case. And do not use Boveda in the same case with other humidification products because they will fight against each other and reduce the efficiency of Boveda.
