charliemaine Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Anyone use these in their cases? https://bovedainc.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliemaine Posted November 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 I'm trying them out in my mandolin and violin case. Anyone have any reviews? I noticed Quinn violins on the Boveda website and also Shar sells these. My new Calton mando case came with one which is how I discovered these. There has been alot of discussion here on case humidifiers but no mention of this product. https://www.sharmusic.com/Accessories/Humidifiers/Boveda-Humidification-System-for-Violin-or-Viola.axd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scordatura Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Yes they work pretty well. Search for a thread here on how to recharge them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I found the info, guess I'm a little behind the times. I opened the case and it is living up to it's claim, 50%. Since I have several instruments in cases which don't get opened very often these are going to be cheap insurance. A product that does what it claims with no fuss, no mess and affordable, that's impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Burgess Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 The Boveda packs will be viable option for some people. But in extreme climates (like where I live), they will quickly absorb (in the humid summer), or desorb (in the dry winter) all the moisture they are capable of dealing with, and will then become ineffective. Regular replacement can be a workaround for this deficiency, depending on ones budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That works for my intended application and our climate. I do see your point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germain Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 They only work well if the case is air tight such as BAM high tech, Accord cases, or Wiseman ($$$$). They don't work well in ordinary cases or even Musafia that don't seal hermetically Never knew you can "recharge" them? Please enlighten me...
