Product Details
USE A SMALL STARTER KIT FOR A(N): 
  • Ukulele
  • Mandolin
  • Violin
  • Viola
  • Clarinet
  • Oboe
  • Any other wooden instrument that's smaller than a guitar
EACH SMALL KIT INCLUDES:
  • One (1) Single (1-Pouch) Boveda Holder
  • One (1) Boveda Refill Packet
  • Step-by-Step Instructions

HOW TO USE:

BEFORE USING BOVEDA:

  1. 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. 
  2. DO NOT mix different Boveda RH levels including Boveda B49HA within the same instrument case.  
  3. 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 the unwrapped Boveda into the pouch of the 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.
PLACEMENT IDEAS:
  • Under the neck or headstock
  • On the strings
  • Under the tailpiece
  • Open area in the case

PACKAGING:

Each Boveda in these kits is individually overwrapped. An unopened Boveda is good for up to two (2) years.

LIFESPAN:

Replace Boveda 2-way humidity packets 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.

PRODUCT DIMENSIONS:

Each Boveda: 5.25"/13.3 cm x 3.5"/8.9 cm
Single pouch: 6"/15.24 cm x 4.25"/10.8 cm

    Perfect for my fiddles , mandolin and ukes

    I had been messing (and forgetting) to keep up with the damp-its to keep hydration consistent in my instruments. Ohio winters keep my house pretty dry at 30% humidity. So these are a drop it in and forget it solution and I don’t have to worry about the drastic fluctuations. My tuning is much more consistent. It’s a tads expensive up front but so worth it.

    It works

    It's not complicated, at least on my end and the bottom line is, it works. The miniscule cost versus maintaining a multi-thousand dollar musical instrument is a no-brainer. I live in the deep South and the humidity can fluctuate dramatically in a single day. These little jewels offer protection not available elsewhere. I do recommend them.

    Recommended by Orchestra Friends

    Winters in my state are dry and my viola is often out of tune. I purchased Boveda to avoid repairs caused by warping or breaking of seams. Since using, my instrument holds tuning well and i have peace of mind in regards to humidity control. Happy I didn't have to buy a new case or expensive piece of monitoring technology. My quartet will recommend it to anyone who asks. Thanks!
