Quality Manhasset Music Stand

Our best-selling music stand, the Manhasset Symphony Stand is used by more music schools than all others combined. It's also found in orchestra pits worldwide. Why? It's got that can't-beat combination of durability, affordable price, and a collapsible 3-piece design that makes it easy to stow when you're not using it. The Symphony Stand stands up to the day-in/day-out abuse musicians throw at it. Robust, lightweight, and baked with a scratch-resistant textured finish, this music stand belongs wherever music's being made. If you need a music stand, pick up a Manhasset Symphony Stand - you'll love it!

The music stand the pros use

If you were to snoop around any top music school, scoring stage, or symphony orchestra pit, chances are you'll spot a sea of Manhasset music stands. Professionals can't afford to mess around with music stands that get tipsy with a heavy load or can't measure up to the the pounding music stands receive on an everyday basis. The Manhasset Symphony Stand is a breeze to use, too; the knobless friction-tilt neck serves up constant tension in any tilt position, while solid brass bearings, a heavy-duty greaseless chrome inner shaft, and Manhasset's original "Magic Finger Clutch" give you effortless one-handed height adjustment.

Built for professional (ab)use

The Manhasset Symphony Stand is built tough. The lightweight, rugged, all-aluminum "desk" is ribbed for added strength. The finish is powder coated, glare-free, and black-textured to resist chipping and scratches. The Symphony Stand is secure at any height - even with a massive score onboard. The heavy-gauge, all-steel welded base gives you top-notch stability and requires minimum space on stage risers or in storage.

Quality-made in the USA

Since 1935, Manhasset music stands have proven themselves year after year in the most demanding applications. The Manhasset Speciality Company is an employee-owned company based in Yakima, WA, and their music stands are made right here in the USA. Every stage, studio, and practice space needs at least one Manhasset Symphony Stand!

Manhasset stand - excellent!

For years I used a flimsy folding music stand, and it was nothing but frustration. In contrast, the Manhasset Model 48 Music Stand is an absolute joy to use. It's sturdy, height adjustable, and holds sheet music and/or music books with ease. I also ordered the Manhasset side standout extensions, and they enable me to place up to 5 sheets side-by-side on the stand. It also works well with the clip-on LED light I have. Overall, this stand has increased the convenience and enjoyment of practicing. Recommend it whole-heartedly!
Rated 5/5

Solid Music Stand

Very simple assembly. Well constructed. Easy to adjust—tilt angle as well as height. Large and stable enough for books and an I-Pad. Generous ledge at the bottom. A very helpful tool for any musician. I added a battery powered light and my previous music holder (which I used on a photo tripod) for more functionality.
Rated 5/5

Outstanding Music Stand

Light & sturdy is the best words to describe this music stand. On a regular bases I have a folder full of sheet music, scales, & chord sheets, plus I put my I-Pad on it for my video lessons. This beat read your music from the floor and it saves your neck from getting sore. I highly recommended!
Rated 5/5

Very Well Built - USA Made

This music stand is very well built. I would say it's not a portable stand though. Meaning you're not going to want to pack it up and take it with you every day. Once you put it together, it's going to stay together. But it is a very strong stand. It's made in the USA and it shows.

For what I needed, a practice stand, this is an excellent choice. I now have this one for my every day practice stand and then I have a different one for my fold up, portable stand.

And Sweetwater did an excellent job shipping it to me. The shipping was fast and the package arrived as expected. If you're not using Sweetwater, you're crazy. Well done!
