  • Exquisite! Focus on the Music, Not Music Stand Drama--No Wiggles, Easy to Adjust
Style: Music Stand
11/29/18 - Manhasset Model #48 Sheet Music Stand I 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. If you find any of my comments beneficial, could you please click on the "Helpful" button below? I've been trying to write more reviews to help others as others have helped me. So, I would appreciate knowing that my comments have helped at least one consumer. Thank you. 7/17/19 Update - I just wanted to say thank those who indicated that my review was helpful. 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. ... show more

  • This is the best I have found.
Style: Music Stand
Before purchasing this from Amazon I went to a music store. They had this same stand on display and I really liked what I experienced. Of course this stand cost a lot more in the music store but there is nothing like seeing trying before buying. Delivery was made on Saturday even thought scheduled for Monday. Prime is always a very pleasant surprise many times. I read a lot of reviews starting with all the 1, 2 and 3 stars. I have not experienced any of the "problems" shown in these reviews. The packaging and delivery was very good. There was no flaw in the products including no scratches or oil. I was able to loosen the bolt from the end of the pole very easily with a small adjustable wrench, put the feet onto the bottom, insert the bolt and tighten it easily. If I would have a negative comment it would be having to hold the stand very tightly with one hand while tightening the bolt with the wrench, but the bolt does not have to be extremely tight. The desk is metal and easy to put on the top of the pole. It tightens with a philips screw driver. After tightening the desk can be turned to the left or right and will no detach from the pole and does not wobble, which I find is a very good feature. Otherwise you would have to lift the stand off the floor turn the whole stand for proper placement in front of you. Yes, the stand is heavy and does not topple over when the desk bearing a heavy load. This is another feature I like. I use 2-1/2 inch 3 ring binders. All my music is individually put into plastic non-glare sheet protectors and results in the binders being heavy, unlike individual sheet music. The desk is does tilt to lay flat. This is nice but I do not have a need for that, however tilting the desk to fit your need is very easy and will stay in place. Raising and lowering the stand is very simple as well. To raise the stand put one foot on the base, put one hand on the pole and pull upward; this is effortless. Wherever you stop for the height preference the stand will stay there. To lower just push downward on the desk. There are no knobs to tighten height of the stand in place and that is another great feature I like. The pole is one piece and not in section. With the 2-1/2 inch binder closed and laid on the desk ledge there is still some of the ledge showing. The desks depth of the ledge is 2-1/4 inches, width is 20 inches and height is 12-3/4 inches. This accommodates a 2-1/2" 3 ring binder very well. This is a permanent stand; not portable so, you would need a place to keep it when not being used. Besides playing accordion (which is why I purchased this stand) I also have an electronic piano. I have the piano near the wall to support the stand because of the weight of the binder with the sheet music in it. I was finally able to move the piano away from the wall and remove the music stand from it because I put this music stand behind the piano. When I want to play the accordion I just remove it away from the back of the piano and put it wherever I sit to play the accordion. Because of all my eye operations sitting on the piano bench with the music on the piano to play the accordion puts me too far away to see the music clearly. So this was an unexpected surprise too because I was wondering just where I was going to store the stand when not being used. Scratching the floor. Yes, it definitely will scratch the floor, but my apartment has carpeting. Here is a suggestion if you are going to use it on a hard floor. I have rolls of rubber matting used to put under items you do not want sliding around or table tops. (Also great to keep audio/video equipment in place.) You can cut 3 squares and put them under each foot to keep from moving on and scratching the floor. The protectors would be nice but you are forced to buy another item for the stand. Your imagination can be used to prevent being forced to purchase another item. I really like this stand and found it has a lot of benefits that I described above. Also remember, I you have an Amazon credit card and have accumulated points - why not let Amazon pay for it with points? 10 stars from me if it were possible. May God bless you and I hope my review is beneficial to you. - Bobby Blue ... show more

  • Old standard...still quality...one improvement
Style: Music Stand
Manhasset stands have been used and abused by schools for a long time and still function well. For my needs, I have a 3.5lb spiral hymnal. When turning between pages far apart, a large chunk of pages has to move from one side to the other which shifts the weight rather abruptly. Trying to do this single handed while holding a Tuba, I cannot steady the stand with the other hand. All the other stands I tried failed at that test. Not only does the Manhasset pass, but I can also adjust it single handed (height, tilt, and rotation). It is very light for it's strength, although that makes it a bit more of a challenge when moving the stand with a heavy book on it--it gets very top heavy to balance it. But when it's stationary, it does not topple over. I purchased the floor protectors for it and they do a great job of preventing scratches on my laminate floor. There is one simple improvement I would make. Due to the heavy hymnal, I had to tighten the bolt for the tilt tensioin. It''s 1/2" on both sides. Wrench sets don't have 2 wrenches the same size. A better solution would be to have a bolt where the head and nut take different wrench sizes a wrench set could be used--I've seen this in other products. ... show more
