Do I have to use a fabric holder with Boveda in an instrument case?

YES! Always insert Boveda into a Boveda Fabric Holder before placing it in an instrument case. The fabric holder extends the life of Boveda plus acts as a liquid barrier if a pack is accidentally punctured.

Do I tear open the brown Boveda packet?

NO!!! DO NOT OPEN the brown packet itself. If your Boveda arrived individually wrapped in cellophane, remove that plastic overwrap before slipping the humidity control pack into a fabric holder.

Should I use a sponge or snake with Boveda?

No, do not use Boveda in the same instrument case with other humidification products, as this will reduce the Boveda’s efficiency. Ditch the sponges and hoses. No more rewetting— Boveda works automatically to balance the humidity in your case!

I live in a really humid place, so do I need Boveda in my instrument case?

Yes! Boveda makes a High-Absorbency pack to protect wood instruments in extreme humidity, prevent warping and curb humidity fluctuations when you’re in a dry environment, like an airplane or air-conditioned venue.

What’s the difference between the Large and Small Starter Kits?

The Large Starter Kit is the right Boveda for an acoustic guitar, large woodwind or large bowed or fretted instrument. Choose a Small Starter Kit to use Boveda with an electric guitar or bass, small woodwind or small bowed or fretted instrument.

Amazing

It’s like I have a new violin. It maintains the humidity in the case extremely well. I won’t ever go back to other methods of humidity control.

Best way to protect my Acoustasonic

As buyers of the Fender Acoustasonic know, the Boveda system comes with the guitar. The pouch in this kit is the icing to make using the system to protect my guitar effortless and getting a few spare packets helps too.

Great alternative for keeping one's guitars out.

So far the temperature is moderate and the humidity hasn't been that low. But the idea behind this to directly humidify the body of the guitar over the sound hole with a holder that should help to contain the moisture is a good one. I've got a Govee hygrometer hanging inside the body and so far the RH between 49-52%. While another guitar with the more traditional Boveda pouch with 2 packs and nothing covering the hole has been between 41-45% RH. A third guitar in its case with 3 packs (2 in the sound hole) has remained between 45-47% RH.Even keeping the RH in this range, unlike when the guitar is in the case or the room is humidified it doesn't keep the wood in the neck humidified so sharp frets could still become an issue in the dry months.
