Manhasset 5101 Fourscore Stand  

This is my second Manhasset stand.  First, the WEB site says this stand has a minimum height of 26 inches.  Not true.  The minimum is 31 inches as all Manhasset stands.  If you need a short stand - as I do - this is not it.  Otherwise, it is an excellent stand.  Mine is well made and seems to function as intended.  It is as stable as any other music stand and the wide tray gives me room for four page music.  I currently use two stand lights to get the whole tray illuminated and it holds that and four to six books of music with no problems.  I wish it was 26 inches tall but, it is still an excellent stand.

Desk is nice and big but base is too light to keep it from tipping easily. If you you bump the desk the stand vibrates forever and the chrome tube actually rattles inside the black tube. I planned to use this in my recording studio but the rattling issue is a problem. Manhasset blew this one.

I use the Manhasset 5101 Fourscore Stand while playing in a praise band.  We often direct segue from one song to the next, leaving no time to turn pages.  This stand has room to hold at least four sheets and with a little creativity even more.  I sometimes use the stand to hold a laptop computer which brings up the only drawback.  The tension is not adjustable so the stand won?t stay at the desired height with the additional weight.  This can be overcome by applying a clamp to the tube of the stand.  Overall a good stand.
