Manhasset 51 Fourscore Stand Music (5101)

Solid stand, will display 4 pages of music, no problem. Solidly built, just like school and symphony stands. I look forward to years of use.

I love Manhasset products. I use this stand with my vibraphone and marimba. Since the range of a vibraphone and marimba are very large a regular stand does not allow you to place music directly in front of you. This stand allows me to position music directly in front of me.

Just what I needed.

Very easy to assemble , sturdy, and exactly what I needed to hold 4 sheets of music.

quality construction.

It is as shown. Very nice.

We really like this extra-wide music stand. We use it in our church for not only music but it also is a real bonus for our teachers. They find the extra width lets them place their Bible and study notes side by side with room to spare.Durable and quality have always been a fan Manhasset tradition that I've recognized in many venues as a musician over the years.

Just got this a week ago and I am generally delighted with it. One caveat. I read some of the other reviews and several people remarked that the shaft attached to the desktop would not remain extended if too much music or other weighty items were placed on it. Based on that analysis, I ordered the recommended Manhasset ShaftLock Model 2400. When it arrived, I attempted to install it, but it became very obvious that the design of the shaft lock is incompatible with the M51 music stand. There is a tiny slotted screw on the shaft lock which is supposed to be tightened to the extent that the shaft lock will bind to the black tube below. You can then turn the twist sleeve on the shaft lock left or right to raise/lower on the one hand or lock the chrome tube in place. Sadly, since the shaft lock does not bind to the lower black tube, the whole concept fails. It was annoying enough that the shaft lock had to be separately ordered and arrived several days later. It was even more annoying to waste the time trying to get it work. I called the Best Service Store phone number (the people who shipped the shaft lock), but they did not answer the phone or respond to a voice mail message. I then called Amazon and they quickly sent me a shipping label to return the item and I will receive a credit after it arrives.As I nearly always play sitting down, it is not too disappointing that I cannot raise the desktop with any significant amount of weight on it. For that reason, I chose to give the unit 5 stars. It is a really a pleasure to use, having used a smaller stand for years. Someone who plays on their feet may well feel differently about the rating the product deserves...
