ABSTRACT:
A reed protector for a woodwind instrument supported by a sleeve separate from the ligature which is used to hold the reed in place. A sleeve is provided with a pair of parallel protrusions extending from it, which protrusions have inner surfaces which face each other. A cap is pivotably mounted at one end on the protrusions and is held in a protective position by one set of lugs on the pivot member and in a playing position by a second set of lugs. The cap contains a foam material at its free end which aids in keeping the reed moist when the cap is in the protective position. Additionally, the cap may be used to carry an extra reed therein.
