Do I need Boveda if my local climate is already between 40% and 60%?
Yes. Even minor humidity changes can cause the wood to expand or contract. Boveda maintains a stable environment inside your instrument case.
Wood is very active. Like most of us, our instruments don't stay in one place. If your instrument is outside the safe zone for just one day, humidity damage can begin to occur.
Gig? Bonfire? Airplane? Beach? Boveda maintains the ideal humidity range recommended by music experts. Using Boveda in your case is your insurance that your instrument stays in top condition in any climate, any venue, anywhere.
Humidity changes can throw your instrument out of tune more frequently and cause costly repairs. Boveda helps:
-
Reduce tuning frequency
-
Preserve the life of your strings
-
Prevent humidity damage, including warped necks, fret sprout, wood cracks, and seam swell/pop
