The stringed musical instrument (12, 46) is provided on a stand (14) so that the instrument (12, 46) is supported by the stand (14) in a generally upright position, with the neck (18) extending upward from the body (16). An instrument cover (10) is provided and is formed from a flexible fabric material having a neck portion (26) and a body portion (28) configured as a continuous sleeve that is open (30) at the end of the body portion (28) for receiving and generally conforming to the stringed instrument (12, 46) supported on the stand (14) without binding to facilitate removal of the instrument cover (10) from the instrument (12, 46). The instrument cover (10) is positioned over the musical instrument (12, 46) and the stand as the stringed instrument (12, 46) is supported on the stand (14) so that the cover (10) generally conforms to the musical instrument (12, 46) when in a fully covered position.
