As the violist of the Stradivari Quartet, Lech Antonio Uszynski performs on major stages around the world. How does he keep his prized viola in pristine playing condition? Lech Antonio uses Boveda in his instrument case to maintain the perfect humidty level for a viola. Watch the video to learn why stable humidity control is crucial to string instrument players.

Information

DETAILS:

Using Boveda to balance humidity in an instrument case:
  • Requires zero maintenance—no more filling messy hoses and snakes and wetting sponges
  • Maintains an ideal relative humidity range for instruments—40-60% RH
  • Prevents wide fluctuations in humidity that cause the wood to expand or shrink, and degrade its performance abilities

HOW TO USE:

BEFORE USING BOVEDA:
  • ALWAYS insert Boveda into a leakproof 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. 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. Slip the Boveda pack into the pouch of its leakproof holder. (DO NOT OPEN the Boveda itself.)
  2. 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
  3. Close the case's lid. Always keep your case closed when using Boveda.

PACKAGING:

  • 4-Pack: Packaged in a resealable high-barrier heavy-duty plastic bag with a zip closure. Each Boveda is not individually overwrapped. 
  • 20-Pack Brick: Packaged in a heavy-duty plastic bag that is resealable using its attached tape enclosure. Each Boveda is not individually overwrapped.

    Unopened, Boveda can last up to 2 years.

SPECIFICATIONS:

5.25"/13.34 cm x 3.5"/8.89 cm

LIFFESPAN:

    Conditioning Cases Prolongs Boveda Effectiveness

    Only 2nd purch of the 20-pack. I have a few acoustics. My Bovedas last about a year. I pre-conditioned all my cases and run humidifiers in the cold dry season.

    I also use Boveda for cannabis and my jug of Orville Redenbacker popcorn.

    D'Addario offers a two-way Boveda-based system. They do not offer, nor do they tell purchasers the necessity of Case Conditioning. Musicians who don't condition their cases complain that the Bovedas get hard in just a few weeks unlike mine which are lasting 52 weeks and most packs still not hardened (with only some hardening apparent.)

    Great for Low Humidity Climates

    I use these in both my guitars and ukuleles. I have them on auto order for every 3 months. I just put them in their cases and put them into the instrument case and do not have to worry about them.

    Five star product

    Have used for years to protect my husbands wooden watch and works as expected. Excellent product. Great customer service. I had one shipment show up with the wrong product inside and it was easy to resolve and I got my corrected product right away. Will continue to use them for a long time to come.
