Thankfully, Boveda starter kits remove the guesswork when it comes to humidifying wooden instruments! The small Boveda starter kit is suggested for smaller wooden instruments, including but not limited to violins and violas Each kit includes a leakproof holder and a humidification packet that’s good for three months of use. The leakproof holder fits neatly on top of strings, under a tailpiece, or in an open portion of a gig bag or case. Simply close your case, and the control packet maintains humidity within a constant stable range — typically between 40% and 60%, the ideal range for classical instruments.
