Hey everyone,

Introducing the S-Mute Stand Wrench!

I've been bouncing this idea around for a while. It's born out of my disdain for loose music stands, really there is nothing more obnoxious than finding a wobbly stand when sitting down to rehearse! There are products out there made for tightening the hardware on Manhasset stands, but they are akin to full sized wrenches, and I don't like having a largeish heavy object in or near my case.

My stand wrench weighs 13 grams and fits unobtrusively in the pouch on your case or in your bag. I take one wherever I go and it's come in handy twice this week alone! It will tighten both the music holder nut and the base bolt on Manhasset stands. The music holder side may tighten other brands as well (yet to test), or I may design more of these for other stands as I come across them or get requests.

Like most of my releases I have a reduced-price pre-sale going for a period of time depending on demand. I can take bulk orders as well with further price reductions. I expect this to be a popular release judging by the reaction I've gotten from a few players I've shown it to. Check it out!

Genius!

Nice. I’ll be able to stop carrying two Crescent wrenches with me. Two because the music holder has both a bolt head and nut that need to be secured to tighten. It looks like the pair of sizes will nest, making for a compact, light solution.

Indeed! Most times it seems the music holder bolt is arrested and only turning the nut will get the job done, but in case its loose you will need two. They do nest!
