Maintaining consistent humidity means consistent performance. This is the right size Boveda to refill a Mini Boveda Holder for a bow tube or tight-fitting instrument case for an oboe or clarinet. For larger instruments use B49 Standard packets.

Information

DETAILS:

  • Requires zero maintenance—no more filling messy hoses and snakes and wetting sponges
  • Prevents humidity fluctuations to limit bow hair movement
  • Reduces expansion and contraction of wooden instruments

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 while extending the life of your Boveda packets. The patented interior material allows water vapor to pass through to your instrument or bow. The exterior is soft, like a polishing cloth, so it doesn’t scratch the finish.
  • DO NOT mix different Boveda RH levels 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. Insert an unwrapped B49 Size 8 refill packet into the opening of the Mini Boveda Holder. (Holder sold separately.)
  2. Make sure the top flap of the holder covers the pack so it doesn't slip out.
  3. Place the Boveda holder in your bow tube or woodwind case in an open area or fold the holder to fit inside.
  4. Allow space within the case to avoid crimping or pinching the Boveda.
  5. Close the case's lid. Always keep your case closed when using Boveda.

PACKAGING:

Packaged in a resealable high-barrier heavy-duty plastic bag with a zip closure. An unopened bag of Boveda is good for up to two (2) years. Each Boveda in this bag is not individually overwrapped. 

SPECIFICATIONS:

2.75"/7 cm x 2.5"/6.35 cm

LIFESPAN:

Replace Boveda 2-way humidity packs every three (3) months

ACCURACY:

Achieves and maintains a constant relative humidity (RH) range between 40% and 60%, the industry standard for wooden instruments.

INGREDIENTS:

Food-grade salt, purified water, and a food-grade thickening agent sealed inside a leakproof membrane.

    Almost

    I began using these to mitigate the humidity from my evaporative cooling system during the summer. They really didn’t do the job . I need something more aggressive in reducing the humidity as my clarinets are suffering.

    Thank you for your review. For a clarinet we recommend the Boveda small music starter kit. This kit contains the B49 standard for music Boveda and a fabric holder for your clarinet. If you have additional questions, please reach out to us at info@bovedainc.com

    Boveda works

    I leave 2 of my instruments in AZ over the summer for several years and I have not had any problem with them drying out or cracking.

    Bought for Jord Watch

    I bought these as replacements for my Jord watch container. The watch is mostly made of wood and this is perfect.
