When every note counts, your gear needs to be as ready as you.
Maintaining proper moisture in your instruments should be a musician’s primary concern. No amount of preparation can counter an instrument that isn’t in the proper condition. Boveda/Humidipak is the global leader in humidified wooden instrument storage because it’s the only product that adds or removes moisture as necessary to maintain the right humidity level your instrument craves. And because Humidipak is maintenance-free, you can spend more time playing instead of fumbling with messy and unreliable alternatives.
For Wooden Instruments
Wooden instruments need to be stored in a stable 40-60% RH (Relative Humidity) environment. Wide fluctuations in humidity will cause the wood to expand or shrink, which puts stress on the instrument and makes it lose tune. Only Humidipak provides two-way humidity control, adding or removing moisture as conditions require, creating a stable environment within your case. Our patented technology will to add or remove only 100% pure water vapor and won’t in any way damage the instrument through direct contact.
Because of this maintenance-free simplicity, Humidipak is proud to be recognized as the industry standard in hygrometer calibration and is trusted by Taylor Guitars as their only endorsed humidity control device.
For Reeds
Everyone reed musician knows Rico Reeds. Virtually every clarinetist or saxophonist has, at one time or another, played with a Rico reed.
Rico’s reed-making machines are computer controlled and constantly monitored by professionals. In the 1930s, Rico was the first to offer strength-gauged reeds. In 1940, Rico introduced the first plastic-coated reed, Plasticover, which possesses unique tonal qualities and a long-playing life. Other Rico innovations have included the Nova Pak, Graftonite mouthpieces, and the new Reed Vitalizer 2-way humidity control storage units.
The Reed Vitalizer offers maintenance-free reed storage. The patented Bόveda technology uses two-way humidity control to keep your reed tips flat and prevent cracking and warping so you can stop playing around and just start playing.
