Boveda Humidification Starter Kit
Humidity Stabilization for Your Instrument!
You’ve made the investment in the musical instrument of your dreams. Now comes the hard part – maintaining it! Wood instruments need to be properly maintained in order to help prevent cracking and warping. As there are many different opinions on how to maintain wood instruments, customers are often left confused with their instrument left in peril. As a result of our desert climate of Las Vegas, we have become experts on how to best care for these wonderful instruments and highly recommend the Boveda Humidification Starter Kit to our customers!
Humidity can be both beneficial and detrimental to your instrument. Even more so, when the humidity level changes due to seasons (like winter), this can quickly lead to putting your instrument into a precarious state. The key is providing stability to your wood instrument throughout the year. The Boveda Humidification Starter Kits are the perfect tool to get you on the way to properly stabilizing your instrument’s case!
How do the Boveda Humdification packs work?
The Boveda Kit uses a unique 2 way humidification pack. These packs are specially formulated to both release and absorb humidity in order to keep a stable relative humidity around them. Most 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. This way it allows standing moisture (left over condensation that was not removed from swabbing your instrument) to still dry quickly enough, but not so dry that the wood of your instrument releases its own moisture as quickly.
Boveda automatically adds and absorbs moisture slowly and precisely using only pure water and natural salts. By stabilizing the inside of your case at 49%, when you are done playing, the instrument is allowed to settle inside of a protected humidity range.
The Boveda system has become a trusted resource with some of the worlds top music manufacturers and is only gaining ground.
