Many of us prefer to leave our instruments out in the open so that we can see them and play them easier . The only challenge is that having them out in the open keeps acoustic guitars , and other instruments , from getting the correct amount of humidity they require . Boveda has just released a new Directional Humidity Control Kit so that your guitar can be displayed in the open and still have the humidity it requires . The kit includes a directional fabric holder , Boveda packet ( aimed at 49 % humidity ) and an introduction booklet . Simply install the Boveda packet into the fabric holder . Then slide the fabric holder under your strings across the sound hole and use the hook and loop attachment to secure it to the strings . The Boveda Directional Humidity Control Kit provides the current humidification to your instrument for up to three months and the price is $ 19.99 per pack . www . bovedainc . com
