A flute accessory that provides a protective shield around the embouchure hole area of a flute to enable a flutist to produce normal tones regardless of adverse outdoor conditions. Wind shield includes a top member, a front member, a bottom member, a left plate, and a right plate. Wind shield is attached to the barrel of a flute so that the left and right plates are equally spaced from the sides of the embouchure hole plate. Top member is joined by a bend to the front member. Front member is joined by a bend to the bottom member. Left and right plates are secured to the sides of the top and front members. The left and right plates each have a facing edge and a holding portion. The facing edges of the left and right plates and the free end of the top member are shaped to provide a comfortable fit when the device is placed against the face of a flutist. The barrel of a flute is retained within the holding portions by a rolling pin assembly and the bend at the juncture of the front and bottom members which acts as a hinge.
