1.Size:Small Ha Kit (1 Holder + 1 Humidity Packs)


  • NO MORE WETTING HOSES OR SPONGES! SWITCH TO AN EASIER WAY to maintain ideal moisture for your wood instrument—no mess, nothing to add, automatic. Use this starter kit for a small fretted or bowed instrument or wood woodwind. NATURAL INGREDIENTS. Trusted by over 3 million people to protect & maintain items at the perfect humidity level. WE GUARANTEE QUALITY!
  • HOW BOVEDA WORKS FOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS: Boveda 49% RH protects wood instruments & their accessories by stabilizing the humidity within the ideal range—45–55% RH. If the air inside a case is too moist, Boveda absorbs that moisture. If it's too dry, Boveda releases small amounts of water vapor into the case. Wide humidity fluctuations will cause the wood to expand or shrink, which puts stress on the instrument & degrades its performance abilities.
  • CHOOSE BOVEDA: Boveda's the only patented 2-way humidity control solution with more than 25 years of experience. Using saltwater in our humidity packs, we provide the fastest, most precise humidity control in the market for wood instruments. When you invest in an instrument, you want to ensure you take care of it to produce optimal sound. Boveda is the only humidity solution that can do so within 24-48 hours.
  • HOW TO USE: Always insert a Boveda pack into the included protective Boveda Fabric Holder before using in an instrument case. Remove the Boveda from the plastic bag before using. DO NOT cut or open the brown humidity packet. Slip the packet into the holder. Place in case and close the lid. BOVEDA DOES THE REST. Replace every 3 months. NEVER MIX the 49% with any other %RH.
  • WHO IS THIS SMALL BOVEDA KIT FOR: Players of a viola; violin; banjo; mandolin; ukulele; electric bass; electric guitar; clarinet; & oboe. Professional musicians; band & orchestra leaders; instrument techs; music teachers; hobbyists & student musicians use Boveda packs for easy & precise humidity management for instrument storage.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

This winter is colder than usual here and my violin has had to deal with temperature and humidity variations. I bought this after arriving at my orchestra rehearsal to find my bow under tension and my e string peg slipped. No mishap since purchasing. It did force me to keep my violin in its case rather than on the stand in order to enjoy the benefits — but having my violin stay in tune session to session is pretty amazing. All my violin and guitar cases now have one!

Works slowly to set the humidity at the desired level, but works great over time.I found if they are not quite fully dehydrated, they can be recharged by sitting them in a bag of pure water overnight.This works for the smaller size and the mid humidity, levels. I find it does not work so well for the larger size or the highter humidity levels.

I put two size 70 pads in my ukulele hard case and I managed to get the humidity up to 35% in addition to having a whole house humidifier. This is nowhere near the 49%. I suppose I could add another pad in the case but at the price point, I decided to add a humilele sponge humidifier to the sound hole and that got me to 41% which is acceptable. I think these can be effective but I would double the recommended amounts.

They last longer than it states on the package. Easy to use, and helps balance humidity while the instrument is in it's case. I wish I could find refills instead of having to buy holder as well.

I use these packets for my ukeleles and other small wooden instruments. They control the humidity so the wood doesn't buckle or crack. I doesn't add humidity (like a humidifier), rather it moderates the level of the humidity available to keep it stable in most climates. I use the ones made for a steady 49% humidity and I'm very pleased so far.

Never increased the internal humidity in my guitar case at all. Returned.

I purchased this for my Leho Solid Mahogany Ukulele. It's my first solid uke and I wanted to make sure all is well. I've used Boveda products for a few years now, mostly for my classical guitars, and have never had an issue. They work as advertised and have served me well.I do wish that they were cheaper, but given the frequency of replacement, it's not really an issue. 5/5 for the product itself, however a 4/5 for the price!

I was using the "wet sponge" holders for my ukuleles and when I saw these I thought, "Oh good, no more wetting sponges." I bought the pack designed for small instruments/ukuleles, followed the instructions and after a few days the hygrometer in my cases indicated things were drying out instead of holding steady after the sponge was taken out. So I'm back to wetting sponges but I also have protected my instruments. It might be I live in a very dry climate (Colorado) and it's very hard to get ahead with the humidity. Either way I need something dependable.
