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 Boveda 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:
- Slip the Boveda pack into the pouch of its Boveda Holder. (DO NOT OPEN the Boveda itself.)
- 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.
