ABSTRACT:
The present invention specifically relates to a SELF-CLOSING HOODED COVER FOR A STRINGED MUSICAL INSTRUMENT that is specifically designed to protect a stringed musical instrument from the deleterious effects of dust and debris in addition to providing protection to the instrument's finish from scratches and minor low velocity impacts. The self-closing hooded cover for a stringed instrument may comprise a fabric panel having a contour that loosely approximates the given musical instrument of symmetrical construction, which has a hood and a body element having a self-closing closure about the front midline and bottom. The invention further provides additional protection from the damaging effects of exposure from sunlight, and exposure to harsh environmental elements wherein instances for such exposure may exist. In another embodiment the self-closing hooded cover may be converted to a bag or case cover. Additional embodiments providing differing arrangements of the primary elements are also disclosed.
