Cut a small piece of ordinary houshold sponge to fit in the mpc cap.
Make this a snug fit in the cap, so it will stay in place.

Wet the sponge and leave quite damp.. place the cap on mpc gently so as
not to damage reed.. Horns will remain ready to play for for a long
time.

I use this all the time on my working triple...Bari sax, soprano sax,
and clarinet... Works like a charm.

PS don't forget to remove the sponge and squeeze dry when you
pack..leave the almost dry sponge in case if you need humidity, or in
gig bag if you don't.
