Using this wind instrument cover is easy. Just place it over the bell of your instrument, making sure it's centered. Then use the elastic closure and cord lock to secure it tightly. During performance, you'll enjoy a breathable experience with minimal impact on your sound. When it comes to maintenance, it's reusable and can be hand - washed. But don't forget about the MERV - 13 filter. You should replace it every 1 - 2 months and never wash it. Before you order, measure your instrument bell to ensure the best fit. Also, keep in mind that these masks are not tested by official organizations to prevent virus transmission.
