EFFORTLESS PROTECTION FOR YOUR INSTRUMENTS
Without proper humidity control, wood instruments will not perform at their maximum ability and even worse can be damaged. To maintain their shape, wooden instruments need to be stored at a stable 45-55% RH (relative humidity). Wide fluctuations in humidity will cause the wood to expand or shrink, which puts stress on the instrument and degrades its performance abilities.
Stop risking your instrument by adding water. Only Boveda’s patented 2-way humidity control adds or removes moisture as conditions require to maintain the ideal humidity level in your instrument case. Boveda helps prevent warping or cracking, and eliminates downtime for service. Because Boveda requires zero maintenance, your instrument will always be protected.

Boveda patented 2-way humidity control makes it easy for you to protect your wood instruments with precision. Wood instruments should be kept between 45% and 55% relative humidity. Boveda eliminates major fluctuations in temperature and relative humidity inside the instrument case. Boveda 49% RH stabilizes the environment to prevent damage that happens to wood from exposure to fluctuations.

How It Works
Boveda automatically adds and absorbs moisture slowly and precisely using only pure water and natural salts.
Just tear open the outer plastic wrapper (if it has one), then remove the Boveda. Place the pack in your dedicated Boveda pouch and position it in your case in an area where there will be no pressure when you close the case taking care not to cut or tear the Boveda pack.

PLACING BOVEDA IN YOUR INSTRUMENT CASE

Find the Right Number of Boveda for Your Instrument
The number of Boveda packs required will vary depending on where you live (your environment), the size of your instrument(s) and the type of case you’re using for each instrument. Hard cases made of synthetic or man-made materials generally hold an internal environment better than a wooden case or a gig-bag. A basic rule is 1 to 2 standard Boveda for smaller wooden instruments or electric wooden instruments with a solid or semi-hollow body and 4 standard Boveda for larger wooden instruments.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Hardening at its corners
- Soft spots among some hard areas
- Rock solid all the way through (Make sure your cigars are always protected, don’t wait until Boveda is completely rigid before ordering replacements.)
- Let it warm up to room temperature and repeat the touch test.
- If your Boveda is now pliable and it feels like thick jelly or dense clay, Boveda is still working—the temperature change won’t impact the performance, effectiveness or shelf life of the 2-way humidity control.
