Information

DETAILS:

USE A LARGE STARTER KIT FOR A(N): 

  • Guitar
  • Bass Guitar
  • Banjo
  • Cello
  • Double/Upright Bass
  • Bass Clarinet
  • Bassoon
  • Large Wooden Instrument

EACH LARGE KIT INCLUDES:

  • One (1) Double (2-Pouch) Boveda Holder
  • One (1) Single (1-Pouch) Boveda Holder
  • Three (3) Boveda Refill Packets
  • Step-by-Step Instructions

HOW TO USE:

BEFORE USING BOVEDA:

  • ALWAYS insert Boveda into a holder before using in your instrument case. The holder acts as a liquid barrier if a packet is accidentally punctured and extends the life of your Boveda packets. The patented interior material allows water vapor to pass through to your instrument. The exterior is soft, like a polishing cloth, so it doesn’t scratch your instrument. 
  • DO NOT mix different Boveda RH levels including Boveda B49HA within the same instrument case.  
  • DO NOT use other humidification products with Boveda in the same case because they will fight against each other and reduce the efficiency of Boveda.


STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Remove the clear overwrap from the packet. (DO NOT OPEN the Boveda itself.)
  2. Insert one (1) unwrapped Boveda into each pouch of each holder.
  3. Place in the case anywhere that allows for airflow and prevents puncture when you close the case.
  4. Close the case's lid. Always keep your instrument case closed when using Boveda.

Double holder:

  • Into the sound hole
  • Over the strings
  • ­Open area in the case


Single holder:

  • Under the neck or headstock
  • On the strings
  • Under the tailpiece
  • Open area in the case

    Ne maitient pas le taux d'humidité

    J’utilisais Boveda 49 depuis près de 3 ans-sans problème pour ma guitare.-taux toujours proche de 49%). J’ai commandé un pack de 10 dont deux ont été placés dans un étui étanche. Résultat : 63% dans une pièce où le taux est de 68%. J’ai retourné le produit pour recommander un nouveau lot : même problème ??Pas de réponse du SAV Boveda.

    Thank you for your review and feedback. Boveda products will never over humidify. Please reach out to us at info@bovedainc.com for troubleshooting assistance. Please always use the B49 standard for guitar storage.

    Music industry experts recommend that wooden instruments be stored between 40 and 60% relative humidity (RH). The Boveda patented 2-way humidity control system automatically maintains 40 to 60% RH inside of your instrument case. This stable humidity level helps prevent damage, like cracking, warping, and swelling, caused by humidity fluctuations. Because Boveda is zero-maintenance humidity control, your instrument will always be protected.
