美产Boveda恒湿袋吉他湿度控制系统

双向湿度均衡吉他加湿除湿系统,让吉他四季安心无忧

Physical instruments can react to their environmental conditions, which can be a problem. Matt Vanacoro kept moisture at bay and protected his guitars with the Boveda Humidity Control System.

环境的变化会对木制乐器造成一定的影响,这可能会对我们的吉他造成损害。Matt Vanacoro非常注重吉他保养,并采用Boveda恒湿袋控制空气湿度。

I stumbled upon Boveda while roaming around at NAMM this year. The concept intrigued me – a humidity control system that works both ways for your guitar? A little packet that allows you to ‘set it and forget it’? It sounded too good to be true. I picked up a few and used them for 3 months and here’s what I found.

我在NAMM展会上碰到了Boveda的展台,他们的产品概念吸引到了我——双向湿度均衡吉他加湿除湿系统,一包小小的恒湿袋放好之后就无需担心湿度问题,真有这么好的事吗?我拿了几个并使用了三个月的时间,以下是我对这款产品的测评。

The Concept

产品概念

WIth Boveda, you get a small pack of liquid with a clear humidity level label. The packet itself is held in a sleeved pouch that allows for 2 way transfer of humidity. The label indicates the desired humidity level and as I said, the system is 2 way. If the humidity is below the indicated level, Boveda will allow the liquid to slowly and gradually disperse to bring the humidity up. If the humidity is above the indicated level, Boveda will absorb the excess humidity and bring the level down to the desired area.

Boveda恒湿袋是一小包带有清晰湿度标签的液体,恒湿袋放置在可以进行双向湿度控制的插袋中。袋子上的标签显示了吉他所需的标准湿度,双向湿度控制指的是,如果环境湿度低于标准湿度,Boveda可以让袋内的液体缓慢向外分散从而提高湿度;如果环境湿度高于标准湿度,Boveda能够吸收多余的水分让环境湿度降低到标准水平。

There’s no moisturizing to be done by the user, and you don’t have to worry about ‘over soaking’ a sponge and damaging your instrument. You pop a Boveda into a sleeve, maybe 2 depending on your home, and insert it into your instrument case. When you use your instrument (or when you set a reminder to go off) you simply check Boveda to see if it has ‘hardened’ yet. When it’s completely solid, it’s time to replace the pack.

用户本身无需再采取额外的保湿措施,也无需担心过度湿润导致泄漏并对乐器造成损伤。只需将恒湿袋放入插袋中,室内可能需要两个,琴盒中一个就够了。使用吉他时(或者定期检查时),只需检查Boveda是否“硬化”,如恒湿袋彻底变硬,就需要进行更换了。

In Use

使用体验

I live in New York, and during a NY winter it gets unreasonably dry in my home. The heat is working overtime, and it’s drying things out to the point where my hair starts to look like a wispy field of wheat. I put 2 Boveda packs into my Taylor acoustic guitar’s hard case immediately when I got home from NAMM. My in-case humidifier confirmed that things remained ‘in control’ throughout the winter whenever I used my guitar. The guitar itself felt wonderful, and the neck angle/string relief felt exactly as it should.

我居住在纽约,冬季特别干燥。供暖系统太充足屋内变得特别干,连我的头发都开始像一片干枯的麦田。从NAMM展会回家后,我马上在Taylor吉他硬质琴盒里放了两包Boveda。琴盒内的加湿器能够保证冬季里吉他的情况尽在我掌握中,琴身感觉很棒,琴颈角度和琴弦张力也都非常舒服,没发生什么变化。

The 2 packs started to harden just this week as I’m writing this review. That means I got about 3 months out of Boveda with 2 packs. The Boveda rep at NAMM said they should last for about 4-6 months, but I think he underestimated how much I like my house warm and toasty, so I might be a bit of an anomaly. I have a home room humidifier for my studio which I left off for the last 3 months for this little test.

两袋Boveda在我这周开始写测评的时候才开始变硬,它们大概支撑了三个月的时间。NAMM展会上的Boveda代表说应该能维持4-6个月,但我可能低估了自己对屋内温度与湿度舒适度的要求,所以我用的比较快。本来工作室里有一个家庭用加湿器,不过之前三个月为了测试就没再使用。

Conclusion

结语

I’m happy to report Boveda worked exactly as advertised, albeit with a little shorter lifespan than I had hoped for. This may be a bit of an anomaly based on my lifestyle habits and where I live. To be honest, I don’t really care. The refill packs are quite reasonably priced, and the idea that I now can simply leave them in my guitar’s hard case without worrying about swapping out my humidifier for a dehumidifier in my studio every 6 months is a blessing.

很开心Boveda的保湿效果如其宣传的一样好,虽然使用寿命比我希望的要短一些,不过这可能跟我的生活习惯以及居住的环境本身有关系。说实话,我对此并不太在意,恒湿袋补充包价格合理,而且不需要每隔半年就把工作室内的加湿器换成干燥器,放置好恒湿袋之后就无需再担心湿度问题让我觉得非常轻松开心。

I feel very secure and confident that my instrument is not only safe with Boveda, but the humidity range seems much more stable than using and adjusting my room-sized humidifier. With so many different levels of size and humidity control, ordering the right one for your instrument can be a little daunting – but then again, on the flip side, there’s a Boveda for everyone!

Boveda让我感觉非常安全和放心,不仅乐器在Boveda加持下更安全,湿度范围也比以前调整室内加湿器的效果更稳定。不同尺寸的湿度控制空间以及要求,要想为自己的吉他专门定制合适的湿度显然难度不是一般的大,好在我们还有Boveda! 

Pros:

2 way humidity control, no water touches your instrument, dead simple to use, ‘set it and forget it’ humidity control, don’t need to loosen any strings or place directly inside your instrument

优点:

双向湿度控制,无须担心水汽泄漏,使用简单便捷“傻瓜式”操作,无需松掉琴弦或放置在乐器内部。

Cons: There are a lot of choices. Not sure it’s a negative, but I definitely ordered the wrong sized refills by accident. On the positive side, guest bathroom is now a lot less humid than it was last month.

缺点:规格选择很多,不确定这能不能算缺点。不过我个人一不小心买错了补充包的规格、从好的一面看,我家的客用浴室湿度比上个月低了很多。
