* Levush 25:13 and Mishna Brura 423:10 write that the reason [[tefillin]] are removed before [[Mussaf]] is in order to add a [[Yom Tov]] flavor to the day (that the [[mussaf]] itself in considered an "אות". As [[Mussaf]] represents the [[Yom Tov]] nature of [[Rosh Chodesh]] the [[tefillin]] are removed at that time.

* Mishna Brurah 28:8 writes that leaving the [[tefillin]] exposed and unwrapped for the duration of [[Mussaf]] is unbecoming the reverence owed to them. In fact, according to halacha, whenever one removes [[tefillin]] one is to wrap and put away the shel-rosh before even removing the shel yad! There does not seem to be any good reason why this halacha should be ignored on [[Rosh Chodesh]].
