49% Two-Way Humidity Control Replacement Packs for Boveda Starter Kits for Music – 12 Pack – Moisture Absorbers for Instrument Cases – Humidifier Packs – Individually Wrapped Hydration Packets

I have been using the Boveda 49% Humidity Packs for years in all of my acoustic and electric guitars. They are super easy to use. There is no muss, no fuss as the gel liquid is in sealed the packets. I live in the NE so with the heat on in the winter it can be very dry (low humidity) and without a/c the summers get pretty sticky (high humidity). These packs do a pretty good job regulating the humidity in the case. I use the Boveda Double holders which holds two humidity packs and put one double holder over the strings and hang it into the sound hole of my acoustics and one double holder with two packs under the headstock. The inside of the case stays between 45% and 55% which is ideal. I do the same for my electrics but I only use one double under the headstock. I found this is enough to keep the fretboard hydrated and prevent fret sprout. I find that I am getting 8-12 months of use out of the packs using them the way I do once they are opened. I buy in bulk and store the unused, unopened packets in heavy duty zip lock bags. Never had a problem doing this even if they are stored for a year.

I use em in my guitars. They work great

Those who own sensitive acoustic guitars that need PROPER HUMIDITY KEPT, will want these. I used to use the sponge humidifiers, but that caused my Takamine 12 string to over humidify and swell at the bridge. Since these do both humidify and dehumidify, they actually fixed my swelling issue with my 12 string! My Martin would suck up all the water in the sponge humidifier within a week during the winter months. These last a month or two for me before I need to change them for new ones. I think the 12 pack is a great value and these packets are a must have for my acoustic guitars. Nake humidity maintenance so much easier.

My 11 year old plays the double bass and her band teacher suggested these for her instrument. We got the start up set and have loved them ever since. We have a case that tells us the humidity in the case and she put her bass in the case after every use. These are keeping the humidity at a perfect % for the bass. By doing this it maintains the wood and prevents any cracking and splitting of the wood. It also maintains the sound it produces. This box should last her the year.

Work well in my Martin guitar. Put two in the sound hole one under the headstock. Needs replace about every month and a half in the winter. A bit expensive for what they are but keep my guitar playing nice all winter

I live in part of the country where the winters are cold & dry. This product is a necessity for my collection of high musical instruments.

I have been using the Boveda 2-way Humidity Control system under the Planet Waves brand name since shortly after PW put them on the market, at least 10 years ago. They keep my guitars playing consistently with absolutely no sign of being too wet or too dry. The shortest life in my guitar case has been about 3 months and I have some in one of my guitars they have lasted 6 years! I keep my guitars in their cases when they aren't being played and keep the cases closed when they are being played. Maintenance is simple. I just check the packet when I take it out of my guitar to play. When the present order arrived one of the packets inside the sealed package was leaking inside its individual package. I notified Boveda and they immediately sent not one, but 2 replacement packets, no questions asked. I highly recommend the Boveda 2-way Humidity Control system to everyone who owns any kind of wooden string instrument! Thank you Boveda for your product, which absolutely works as advertised, and for your wonderful service!

Keeping a guitar at the correct humidity in the case is very important but not always easy to do. These packs work better than any other solution I have tried. In the past, I had Dampits in my cases. They required continual monitoring and rewetting. Not so with these packs by Boveda. I don't know how they do it, but these work!

Funcionan en el clima seco de madrid tal y como describe el fabricante. En los momento de más sequedad atmosférica (20%+), en una guitarra que estaba una funda no rigida, he metido 2 dobles fundas (4 bóvedas), pero era de esperar. También subrayo que duran mucho: de momento, y en estas condiciones, han pasado meses y ayer acabo de notar los primeros cristales 'duros'.

indispansable pour conserver les anches à la bonne hygrométrie

It is very good for my guitar

i originally got these to prevent the neck warping on my acoustic guitars due to seasonal changes. it used to be frustrating to fool with the truss rod every 15-20 days. tried putting this in my hard case as recommended and wow - yes, the neck warping reduced by 80%. I only need to make minor tweaks to the truss rod once in 3 months. But what is even more important : I own 4 luthier built acoustic guitars and each of them sounds extra-ordinary - but only on few days of the year when the weather is ideal ! but now with these humidifiers, these guitars sing at their best every day of the year. keeping ~50% humidity in the case keeps the wood from sounding dry/raspy in summer and from sounding like it has a blocked sinus in rainy season. i think these humidifers are an excellent product to have your precious guitar sounding their best always. u also dont need to waste time on monitoring with a humidifier and add/take out few of the packs, like with other products. these seem to maintain the humidity within a decent range most of the time. yes, buying so many packs a year for 4 guitars quickly adds up to a significant amount of money. but i am not complaining too much about the price of the humidifier packs as it's a good quality,unique product. the only thing i am not happy about is the price of the pack holders. god, these things are just square pieces of cotton and they are sold for obscene prices of Rs 1,500 each ! seriously ? i need 2 of them for each hard case and that for 4 gtrs, just the fabric holder runs upto Rs 12,000. boveda should profit from selling their humidifier and not from fleecing us for tiny pieces of fabric. otherwise, i am happy with this product.

Ottimo per controllare l'umidità degli strumenti musicali.
