The invention relates to a device for carrying a wind instrument. The device comprises a Y-shaped frame having two arms (2, 2′) extending upward, which are arcuate at the free ends (9) of the arms, and a third arm extending downward, which forms a support (4). The two arms (2, 2′) and the support (4) converge in a connecting element (3) and are connected to each other there. The arms (2, 2′) can be designed as one piece together with the support (4) and the connecting element (3) in order to form a unit, or the arms (2, 2′) can be connected to the connecting element (3) in an insertable or pivotable manner. A retaining element (5) for hanging the wind instrument (17) is provided on the connecting element (3).
