My local climate is already between 40% and 60%. Why do I need Boveda?

Even if you live in a climate that falls within the safe zone of 40-60% humidity, you should store your instrument with Boveda. Here’s why:

Wood is very active. Even in the safe range, minor humidity changes can cause the wood to expand or contract. These changes can throw your instrument out of tune more frequently. Boveda provides a stable environment, in any climate, which reduces the need to tune your instrument as often and helps preserve the life of your strings.

Additionally, if you travel with your instrument, Boveda is your insurance that your instrument stays in top condition and your safe zone travels with you—to a gig, on vacation, on an airplane, a work trip, wherever. If your instrument is outside the safe zone for just one day, instrument damage can begin to occur. Frets can begin to sprout, cracks can begin to appear, seams can begin to swell/pop, necks can begin to warp, etc.
