How Luthiers Protect Guitars
The pros don’t mess with the hose, they use Boveda for guitars in the case and on display. Rob Magargal of Taylor Guitars advises musicians to control humidity levels throughout the lifetime of every wooden instrument to maintain optimal structure and playability.
Information
HOW TO USE:
- First remove the clear overwrap from the Boveda, then slip unwrapped Boveda into the pouch of its protective fabric holder. (Do not open the Boveda itself.)
- To learn where to place with your instrument, visit the FAQs for Placement of Boveda in Instrument Cases.
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.
DON'T:
- Mix different Boveda RH levels within the same instrument case
- Use Boveda in the same case with other humidification products because they will fight against each other and reduce the efficiency of Boveda
