The 2-Pack is for One (1) reed caseone pack to use now plus a replacement. Use in a non-airtight reed case or reed container (not included) Our patented two-way humidity controlled Boveda packs compensate the atmosphere inside your humidor. When water vapor is needed, Boveda releases the cleanest and most purified humidity. When there is too much moisture in your humidor, Boveda absorbs the excess. With Boveda, you do not have to adjust any valves or figure out if you put in too much or too little water and you will never have to fill or refill your device with water again – ever. EFFORTLESS PROTECTION: Nearly all guitars and other musical instruments made from wood are built in an environment where humidity is closely controlled and monitored. Wood is susceptible to warping that can alter the tone and timbre of the instrument, or even worse, cause it to crack during the manufacturing process. Protect your instruments against warping, cracks, and other damage cause by lack of humidification. IDEAL HUMIDITY FOR WOODEN INSTRUMENTS: Most experts and instrument manufacturers agree that an ideal relative humidity range of 45-50% is best for storing instruments. Stop risking your instrument by adding water or other solutions. Only Bovedas patented 2-way humidity control adds or removes moisture as conditions require to maintain the ideal humidity level in your instrument case.
