MUSICAL INSTRUMENT HOLDER CLIP
A musical instrument holder clip includes a first holding unit and a second holding unit. The first holding unit includes a main body and a clamping member that extends movably into the main body, and is operable to generate a clamping force adapted for clamping a microphone between the main body and the clamping member. The second holding unit includes a first holding member adapted for abutting against an outer surface of a bell wall of a wind instrument, and a second holding member adapted for abutting against an inner surface of the bell wall of the wind instrument. The first holding member and the second holding member cooperatively define a holding space adapted for receiving the bell wall of the wind instrument therebetween.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUSPENDING A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT
Apparatus and method for suspending a musical instrument from a musician's neck includes an instrument suspension strap and cooperating garment collar configured for cooperative connection to carry a musical instrument. The instrument suspension strap includes a distal end having a fastener for coupling with an attachment point on the musical instrument. A pair of suspension straps extend from the distal end to a proximal end. The pair of suspension straps carry a first side of a cooperating fastener. A garment collar is configured with one or more second sides of the cooperating fastener. The suspension apparatus and method allow a musician to conveniently carry their instrument without a bunching or binding and aggravation of their neck.

Musical instrument shield for playing wind blown instruments
The musical instrument shield invention is a clear or translucent enclosure made of flexible plastic material that aids to contain droplets from spreading while still providing full view of the instrument. Access ports for the musicians' hands, fingers, clip rings, and thumb rests are cut in the plastic and reinforced as needed to prevent tearing. The musical instrument shield is attached to the neck of the instrument with ties, string, elastic, laces, Velcro or other suitable material to hold the proximal end of the shield around the instrument. The woodwind shield can incorporate one or more filtered vents that prevent pressure from building up during playing yet still resist any infectious droplets from passing out of the shield. The access ports are closed when not in use and direct any aerosols that may escape through the ports while in use down toward the ground. The clear shield allows teachers and others to see the instrument and musician's fingering while still providing unencumbered playing and clear producing sound. The see through shield can be made of any non-porous material that can effectively block transmission of infectious droplets or air borne viruses. A hybrid shield made of both clear and opaque materials would allow for the instrument to be visualized as well as vented to prevent pressure build-up within the shield. Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following claims and detailed description of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
