A multi-layered instrument cover protects an instrument against damage. The cover can encapsulate the instrument fully assembled, so that a user only has to remove the cover to utilize the instrument. The cover includes multiple layers that provide various functions. An inner layer is fabricated from a soft material suitable for contacting the instrument. An intermediate layer overlays the inner layer, and has sufficient rigidity to provide protection and a shape to the cover. The shape of the cover can conform to the instrument. An exterior layer provides an exterior surface that can be decorative and also help to identify the instrument. The exterior layer and the intermediate layer can be sewn onto the inner layer. Pouches on the exterior layer contain instrument components such as mouth pieces, tuners, and sheet music. A handle on the exterior layer orients and positions the cover on and/or off the instrument.
