Great item!

Days After I Buy This Manhasset 2800 Music Stand Accessory

Manhasset 2800 Music Stand Accessory

I use this with my Manhasset voyager traveling stand. It is solid and strong. The 'cup holder' is actually just a round cup with a bottom you could certainly fit any size cup into - or use it as a pencil holder.

It took me a second to figure out how to get it on my stand. To start with, I thought it would not fit, which another reviewer warned about. As the Manhasset website says, however, it fits ALL their stands. However, it only fits one way (and not the way I first thought). That wasn't clear in the directions I got or from their site.

The missing instructions:

Before you screw the stand attachment onto the box, check which direction it fits on the stand. Pull up the stand desk so you can see both the black stand pole and the silver extension. Slip the attachment onto the silver and slide it down. It fits so the SCREWS ARE ON THE BOTTOM and the long sleeve is on the top. If it doesn't slide easily onto the black post, you have it upside down. DON'T FORCE IT. Flip it and try again. When in the correct direction, it slides right on.

Yes, it looks like it should work either way, and structurally it would make sense to me to have the shaft next to the box. But that's not how it works. The long shaft above the box acts as a spacer so the accessory tray doesn't bump into the stand desk.

Once you know the correct direction, screw it onto the box right side up.

  1. This box will serve me well while on-stage. A place for everything, including water bottle, pens, notepad, etc. I thought at first that it didn't fit my stand, but take a careful look at the picture. It mounts low, on the black, thick part of the stand. Works great!

  2. A very durable box. A nice thing to have for practicing. My box does not fit on my stand. I tape it to the stand. My stand is not a Manhasset. Other than that, no other problems.

  6. The Manhassett music stand accessory tray is really handy! I keep my metronome, pencils, and tuner on it. It includes a drink cup as well. Everything's in one place and less likely to be mislaid.

  7. It hangs well, and supports weight well. I have had mine for almost a year now with not one problem...

  8. This shelf is cheap and does the job well. Easy to put on the stand. It holds quite a bit. The one I bought does not look like the photo. It slides on the bottom shelf of the stand. I don't know the cost of the item shown but mine was several dollars at most. It was sold by Manhasset as well.

  9. I bought this and with very little effort was able to put it on my 4score stand. Fits perfectly, but do read the directions. With this and my shelf I'm all set to put all those things that I need on my stand right where they need to be for easy and quick access. The cup holder is large enough and deep enough that it should hold most any cup (without a handle) or bottled drink. I use it for pencils and pens and such. It's very sturdy and just exactly what I wanted.
