Maintain Ideal Moisture Levels with Boveda for Wood Instruments

1. Automatically responds to any storage environment, geographic location or change in temperature

2. Adds or removes moisture on its own (eliminates messy sponges, hoses, discs, etc.)

3. Maintains a constant relative humidity (RH) between 40-60%—the ideal climate for wood instruments

Don't store your instrument without Boveda

There's a specific geometry built into your instrument. Precision crafted in a climate-controlled shop. An artisan used intense heat, moisture and pressure to bend wood to shape your instrument. Now the care and keeping of that wood is in your hands.

Developing and fine-tuning your repertoire put significant demands on your instrument. If you expose your instrument to humidity swings day after day, you can throw off its delicate alignment and cause permanent distortion. Improper storage is the greatest constant danger to the condition of any wooden instrument.

Storing your wooden instrument in a stable environment created by Boveda preserves your instrument, and maintains its sound, so you avoid taking repairs due to:

• Cracking

• Warping

• Sagging

• Glue damage

Boveda works automatically (& solo) — so there's nothing else to add

No more adding water to sponges, hoses, or discs. No more risk of moisture puddling inside your instrument. Boveda eliminates the hassle (and danger) of one-way humidification methods. These methods spike humidity when you add water, and take a nosedive as the water evaporates.

Boveda is pure water and natural salts sealed inside a leak-proof membrane. Boveda adds and absorbs water vapor slowly and precisely to achieve and maintain an RH level between 40% – 60% in your instrument’s closed case.

How to use Boveda

Just slip the unwrapped Boveda(s) in the pouch holder. (Do not open the Boveda itself.) Nestle the pouch holder in a storage cut-out in your case where the holder will not be crushed.

Ensure Humidity Control with Stretto Spare Bags for Cello

The Stretto from Switzerland is simply the most effective system for maintaining a safe and consistent humidity level in a case's interior. The Stretto bag effectively humidifies for up to two weeks. When ready to rehydrate the bag, simply re-soak in water (use distilled water for best results). Benefits to the player include an instrument safer from the risk of cracks, more consistent performance, and bow hair that does not dry and shrink (causing higher tension risking warpage or even tip breaks).

Play with Nuance Using Tourte Violin Mute

The original Tourte mute is the world's most popular orchestra mute! There are many imitations available, but they are made from inferior die-cut synthetic rubber which sacrifices functionality, longevity, and sound quality. The original Tourte orchestra mute’s elastic molded rubber construction allows for ease and speed of application and removal, as well as superior sound by avoiding rattling and contact with the string where imitation mutes don’t. A small pin on the top makes it easy to remove and slide down the string when not in use. Used for chamber music, orchestra and personal practice - light muting level. Original: Not a Copy!
