No, it's not gremlins
Every musician has heard the horror stories: Cracked finishes, warped necks, loose glue joints, sharp fret edges, or even collapsed tops. It often feels like the instrument has fallen victim to some mysterious, malevolent force. Thankfully, it's not mischievous gremlins lurking in the dark – just less than ideal humidity. Wooden instruments are sensitive to their environment, only really remaining stable when stored between an ideal humidity range of 40% and 60% at room temperature. Maintaining that balance is simple with Boveda 49% – a reliable, low-maintenance, two-way humidity control solution that protects valuable instruments without any hassle or high costs.

Three months of humidity control
Boveda uses the natural process of osmosis to maintain the ideal humidity level. Inside each individual Boveda 49% pack is a specialised salt solution that automatically balances moisture levels – absorbing excess humidity when the air is too damp and releasing it when conditions are too dry. This helps keep the humidity level very close to 49% (hence the product's name), which is ideal for wooden instruments. This simple, self-regulating system provides hassle-free protection for all wooden instruments. Just place the pack – in its special sleeve – inside the instrument case, ensuring it's not pressing against anything, and it will maintain stable humidity for up to three months. When the pack hardens, simply replace it. Regardless of the season – whether it's dry indoor heating or humid summer heat – Boveda keeps instruments consistently and reliably protected.

Keep your instruments safe!
The Boveda Starter Kit L is tailored for larger wooden instruments such as acoustic guitars and basses, as well as cellos, bassoons, and bass clarinets – including the largest of them all, the double bass. It offers near-instant protection in a compact, easy-to-use format – providing reliable humidity control for a wide range of instrument types. To ensure maximum protection, the Boveda packs should always be placed in the sleeves provided, which help prevent leaks in the rare event of breakage and also protect the instrument's finish from contact damage. The kit includes one Single and one Double Holder, allowing the correct number of packs to used for every type of instrument – be it placed beneath the strings or near the headstock. With the three B49% packs included, this kit offers a complete solution for properly storing and protecting valuable instruments in humid or dry environments.

About Boveda
Since 1997, Boveda has been a leader in humidity control solutions. The company was built on the innovations of Dr. Al Saari, who developed a unique salt solution, and packaging expert Robert Esse. Their pioneering efforts have resulted in patented packs that provide reliable humidity regulation for a variety of products, from cigars to musical instruments. Anything requiring specific humidity protection benefits from Boveda’s solutions. Designed as sustainable and intelligent tools, Boveda packs are a simple yet effective way to maintain precise humidity levels, safeguarding items from the adverse effects of excess moisture or dryness.
Smart solution
A Boveda Starter Kit is a smart, reliable solution for protecting wooden instruments. Designed around a completely sustainable approach, each pack contains only water and food-grade salt in a precise ratio – no harsh chemicals, no gimmicks. This ensures long-term stability, helping keep instruments in optimal condition while reducing the risk of costly repairs. This standard version is recommended for general use, and climates with lower humidity; the High Absorbency (HA) variant is designed for environments where the humidity levels are consistently over 60%. It's important not to use Boveda packs alongside other humidity control products, as this can disrupt the self-regulating process. Simple, effective, and affordable, Boveda offers a dependable way to safeguard instruments from humidity-related damage.
