Boveda 2-Way Humidity Control Starter Kit Small for Violin/Viola
Boveda 2-Way Humidity Control: effortless protection for your instruments
Without proper humidity control, wood instruments will not perform at their maximum ability and even worse can be damaged. To maintain their shape, wooden instruments need to be stored at a stable 45-55% RH (relative humidity). Wide fluctuations in humidity will cause the wood to expand or shrink, which puts stress on the instrument and degrades its performance abilities. Stop risking your instrument by adding water. Only Boveda's patented 2-way humidity control adds or removes moisture as conditions require to maintain the ideal humidity level in your instrument case. Boveda helps prevent warping or cracking, and eliminates downtime for service. Because Boveda requires zero maintenance, your instrument will always be protected.
This small starter kit is ideally suited for violins, violas and ukuleles.

How to use Boveda
Before using:
+ Always insert Boveda into a holder before using in your instrument case. The holder acts as a liquid barrier if a packet is accidentally punctured and extends the life of your Boveda packets. The patented interior material allows water vapour to pass through to your instrument. The exterior is soft, like a polishing cloth, so it doesn’t scratch your instrument
+ Do not mix different Boveda RH levels (including Boveda 49% High Absorbency) within the same instrument case
+ Do not use other humidification products with Boveda in the same case because they will fight against each other and reduce the efficiency of Boveda
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Remove the clear overwrap from the packet (do not open the Boveda itself)
2. Insert one (1) unwrapped Boveda into each pouch of each holder
3. Place in the case anywhere that allows for airflow and prevents puncture when you close the case
4. Close the case's lid. Always keep your instrument case closed when using Boveda
