MASU (Musician’s Accessory Shelf)
Designed and built by Canadian craftsman and musician Will Nickel, the MASU Musician’s Accessory Shelf offers a functional and aesthetically pleasing solution to a problem faced by many musicians: where to put your mutes, mouthpieces, caps, reeds, rosin, oil, picks, tuner, water and iPhone! MASU keeps your accessories discretely and conveniently at hand while adding a touch of class to the stage.
MASU attaches quickly and securely to any music stand up to 1.2” in diameter. The shelf is laser cut from 5mm Plexiglas; it is durable and nearly invisible. A rubber-coated metal stop rod follows the contour of the shelf on three sides providing an unobstructed path to run wires for electronic accessories.
MASU is available in two sizes: 6” X 11” (66 sq. inches) or 7” X 14” (98 sq. inches). The small size holds four standard trumpet mutes; the larger size is suitable for trombone mutes or a greater number of accessories. For additional storage, add a second unit. Solidly built, this is probably not something you will carry around in your gig bag. It is perfect for the theatre pit, teaching studio or concert stage.
With an essentially perfect design and superb hand-craftsmanship, MASU is a perfect example of form following function. For a nominal charge, your shelf can be custom engraved with your name or logo, if you provide a JPG. Be the envy of your friends and colleagues—order yours today!
