The Manhasset Model 48 Symphony music stand represents nearly a century of US-manufactured craftsmanship with a lightweight, sturdy design that performs day after day. Since 1935, Manhasset has supplied schools, symphonies, and orchestras worldwide with quality music stands and accessories. The Model 48 Symphony music stand is the company’s most popular model, chosen by more schools and professional groups than any other. Just tour the Sweetwater Academy of Music & Technology, and you’ll find at least one of these rugged, long-lasting stands supporting the efforts of hardworking musicians and students. Now available in a host of bold colors, you can express your style while relying on the proven quality of the Model 48 Symphony.

Smart, practical, and strong

Designed for strength, the Model 48 features a ribbed aluminum 20-inch desk with a scratch-resistant finish that stays strong from practice room to stage. Below the desk is a height-adjustable base with an automatic no-knob friction tilt neck for consistent tension. The base comes fitted with a heavy-duty chrome inner shaft featuring the company’s trademark Magic Finger Clutch, providing a 1-hand friction grip for easy adjustment and rugged all-steel welded feet for support. Secure at any height — even with a heavy music load — the Model 48 is a practice and performance companion for students and professionals of all ages.

Reviews

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!
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.
Just what I needed
Sturdy and easy to assemble.

Top Notch
I had been using a cheap Wire Fold Up Stand for many years.Did the job,but this Stand is so much sturdier and has proven to be much better to use every day.I really like it!
Thanks to my Sales Engineer Joseph Donner.Always there to help and give useful advice when I have any questions about gear.

The Standard
It's basically the standard. When you think music stand, this is what you think of. Easy to put together, just need a wrench or ratchet and socket set, and a screwdriver. The only weakness is the thin corners on the top, but that is also what makes it light and easy to carry for all ages and strengths. Usually you see the corners slightly bent after years of use (and being honest, abuse), especially if you have a stand rack. Eventually the nut on the bottom works loose and the stand starts to wobble, so you may have to re-torque it eventually, but it doesn't take much time. It shows up well boxed and protected, and the instructions are clear and obvious. Not much else that you could ask for. If you played band in school in the last 30 years, this is probably what you used.
