Re: Face Shields Anyone?

This may be a daft idea, but could we just put the whole clarinet in a big bag made from HEPA filter fabric, and have it tight round the sides of the musician's face like a mask? The actual coronavirus itself is larger than the holes in HEPA filter fabric, so if we did that, then the sound would come out of the bag, but the virus particles wouldn't.

It obviously wouldn't look great for a concert but it might be okay for music school, just to get people moving again.

If breathing in was difficult because of CO2 building up in the bag then we could add a valve near the mouth so the force of inhalation draws air in from outside, through the HEPA fabric. There is a filter like that in the 3D printed respirator mask shown at this site: https://www.makermask.com/

Sorry, I have no idea if that would be a bonkers idea, but just wondered if anyone had tried it.
