Boveda / BVMSK49HA-LG
—For humidity control of your precious instruments
A musical instrument’s two greatest enemies are humidity and dryness.
During the humid summer and dry fall, the condition of your instrument is prone to fluctuation.
The BVMSK49HA-LG uses a Boveda 49% HA RH pack to maintain optimal humidity even in high-humidity environments, from the rainy season through fall.
・What happens when humidity rises?
When the bodies and necks of stringed instruments—such as guitars, violins, and cellos—absorb moisture, the body may swell. This can cause the bracing—which is used to adjust the tone and reinforce the body’s structure—to come loose.
Additionally, as the neck expands, it may warp.
・What happens when the environment becomes too dry?
As moisture is drawn out of the wood, it begins to shrink.
This can cause the decorative binding wrapped around the outside to peel off, the body panels to crack, and the fingerboard to shrink, potentially causing the frets to become exposed.
That said, it would be a shame to become so preoccupied with humidity and dryness control that you end up installing elaborate equipment or losing the joy of playing your instrument.
That’s where Boveda humidity control packs come in handy.
While silica gel—like the kind found in packages of candy—is designed to keep the candy from getting soggy, Boveda’s saturated gel, made from pure water and natural salt, is designed to maintain an optimal humidity level of 49%.
It maintains a constant 49% humidity by releasing just the right amount of moisture when the air is dry and absorbing excess moisture when humidity rises.
It’s very easy to use.
This set includes three Boveda 49% HA RH packs and a dedicated holder (single & double) to store them, so simply place the packs in the holder and put it inside your instrument case!
*We recommend placing the single pack near the head of the case and the double pack near the sound hole.
This will protect your precious instrument, so why not try it for everyday storage?
