Manhasset Symphony Stand - Black Pack of one

Nice solid stand if you are not looking for a portable mobile stand. Friction height and sheet angle adjustment.

Great quality! Easy to adjust, lightweight, but sturdy. Doesn't stand in the way in a crowded space as other stands with higher tripod legs.

Well packed in quality box. Made in America, this was a point that made me very pleased anything I've ever bought American made has been top quality. Life time warranty. Very easy to assemble very sturdy. I bought this to stand my iPad Pro on whilst learning YouTube guitar lessons, so needed something solid so I could rewind the lesson easily at my fingertips. Very large stand so can easily get my iPad Pro and a4 paper and even two iPads and a4 paper on.The only problem I had which was very easily fixed was where the tube extends it rattled when using iPad, this would have been too annoying to use like this, but a small amount of amalgamation tape stopped this.I was very lucky to buy this at just the right time at £40. Today it is just under £60. Knowing what I know about it now, I would have bought this for £60. I was drawn to this initially because over 1500 100% reviews spoke for itself. I’m not surprised it’s very good. I’m looking forward to getting back int my lessons

This is a classy music stand. The ease of height and angle adjustment is great.

Once you get one of these stands (and remember NOT to pick it up by the neck or you'll get grease on your hands) you'll probably start to look down at most other music stands. Its useful for sheet music sure, but also if you do things like voice over, reading or podcasting and need notes close by. You can adjust the height smoothly, and easily with one had, its stable, can tilt - plus it looks quite cool. Even if you don't play music...maybe get one and stick a picture on it.

Good quality worth the extra money would recommend.

My girl needed a stand that could hold her heavy music book while practising her violin. It’s just what she needed, easy to adjust the height with one hand which is always handy for a violinist. It can be adjusted to be flat as well so she has used is to support her laptop to video while she is playing a piano. Very useful and versatile music stand.

Superb quality, the aluminum construction is light enough to move around easily but remains very stable, the powder coat finish is very matte, and the knob-less tilt and height adjustment "just works". Nicer than my other music stand, very happy with this purchase. Note it has no built-in clips for holding music books open or sheet music in place.

Elegantemente firme

This stand is sturdy like the ones at music school. The top is wide and can hold a couple of pages and also books because of the wide lip. I bought a portable one previously and it was wobbly with a thin lip so pages would fall of at the slightest gust of air.

Todo bien

It's a sturdy music stand. I can even keep my iPad on it. One time investment.

11/29/18 - Manhasset Model #48 Sheet Music StandI should be ashamed. I ordered this Manhasset Music Stand well over a month ago, received it the same day, put it together in less than five minutes and was playing music from it in less than 7 minutes from the time my husband carried the box upstairs for me. It quickly became my pride & joy, my best purchase of the year and I haven't written a peep about it. Actually, I did write about it--I wrote to a friend to recommend he buy one for his wife for Christmas!I returned to playing a musical instrument from my HS days some decades back. I had my share of "music stands," starting with an open desk drawer, and then my old reliable but wiggly, silver, aluminum, 2-piece folding stand. I had two of those. And then, I recently got a very sturdy steel stand. It was great except the lip that holds music was only 1 inch deep. Seriously, 1 inch? Even my old $10 aluminum stand had a 1 1/2 in. lip.I decided not to mess around with the inadequacies and frustrations of an unprofessional music stand. As much as lower quality stands cost, it wasn't that much of a leap to splurge for a top-quality Manhasset Music Stand, especially when it's on sale. The lip is 2 1/4" deep! I can leave some of my select music books open, so I can easily resume where I ended my previous practice session. With my 1-inch thick Klose book, the stand is as sturdy and stable as ever, even with other books on the stand.I must admit, I read a lot of reviews in which reviewers complained of receiving stands with missing parts, difficulties getting the bottom bolt loose and bookplates that wouldn't raise because of the poles being stuck. And then there were those with dented bookplates, and "feet" that scratched wooden floors and snagged carpets. All of these issues prevented me from buying sooner.After wasting money on a crap stand a couple of months earlier, I decided to quit messing around. I'm just too old to deal with music stand irritations. I decided that out of all of the problems some reviewers reported, there was a larger number of reviewers who received Manhasset stands with all of its parts, bolts that came apart just fine, poles that raised up & down with ease, bookplates without dents and feet that didn't scratch floors and snag carpets (although, I did purchase the floor protectors for $3.71.)I took a chance and don't regret it. With a Manhasset Music Stand, my practice sessions are all about the music, without a hint of music stand drama.I've spent a substantial amount to replace the music I had decades ago, plus some additional stuff, but my Manhasset Music Stand is my pride and joy--perhaps, my best purchase of the year.The Manhasset stand is very sturdy, and very stable. The bookplate tilts all the way back, upside-down. (I can't say I understand why or how someone would use it that way.) The bookplate also swivels around & around to the left, and around & around to the right. The pole telescopes smoothly, up and down without touching a button. When it's at the height you want, you just stop raising or lowering the neck or bookplate--there's no tightening a screw or pressing a pressure latch against the pole. You just stop and the bookplate stays right where you stopped. The bookplate, itself, is pristine--not a dent, scratch or rough edge. The feet are also smooth--no rough spots to scratch floors or snag carpets. As I mentioned, I purchased the floor protectors, but they weren't necessary.This Manhasset Music Stand is exactly as I remember them from High School. Obviously, I'm very pleased with my purchase and I highly recommend it.I apologize for sounding like a commercial, but it's such a pleasure to have. I truly can't think of a better music stand.I did not receive any compensation for my review. All of my comments are strictly my own, based on my actual use.

Thank you, I greatly appreciate it! Also, I must say, I still LOVE my music stand! It's among my Top 5 purchases over the last 1 1/2 yrs. A close runner-up is the Black Leather Prestige Buffet Case I purchased for myself last (2018) Christmas. One last thing: I mentioned above, recommending a friend buy a Manhasset Music Stand for his wife. Well, she absolutely LOVED it! She loved it at least as much as I did. It really is a great Christmas gift. In my H.S. and college days, I never had any money. I worked, but for some reason, I never had any money! (It's hard to accumulate any savings at $2.00 - $2.35/hr!) Back then, even if I was aware Manhasset would sell their music stands to the public, I never could have bought one because I was always poor. It might be a little pricey for an average gift, so, it would be a great gift idea for a parent, grandparent, or significant other to purchase for the musician in their life. Or, if you want to make a good impression on a musician you would like as a significant other . . . well, it definitely would have made a good impression on me!Thank you very much for taking the time to read my review.
