Boveda Music Large Starter Kit - 49% RH Standard Boveda - Perfect Humidity Control for Guitars & More

How Boveda Works for Musical Instruments

Boveda 49% RH stabilizes the humidity within the ideal range of 45–55% RH, protecting wood instruments and their accessories from the damaging effects of moisture fluctuations. When the air inside a case is too moist, Boveda absorbs excess moisture. Conversely, if the air is too dry, Boveda releases small amounts of water vapor to maintain optimal conditions. Wide humidity fluctuations cause wood to expand or shrink, putting stress on the instrument and degrading its performance. By maintaining consistent humidity, Boveda ensures your instrument performs at its best.

Why Choose Boveda

Boveda is the only patented 2-way humidity control solution with over 25 years of experience. Our saltwater-based humidity packs provide the fastest and most precise control for wood instruments. Investing in an instrument warrants optimal care, and Boveda ensures your instrument achieves optimal sound within 24-48 hours.
