Manhasset Conductor Stands

Manhasset have been providing top quality products since 1935, and their stands are no exception to this. At Chamberlain Music, we’re always proud to supply the range of amazing stands Manhasset manufacture, including their symphony, orchestral, table top and harmony stands.

All the Manhasset music stands we supply also come with a lifetime guarantee. Every stand is so robust we are certain you’ll never have to buy another music stand again!

The Manhasset fourscore music stand:
This stand is perfect for conductors for both professional and school orchestras, with its desk being as wide as 4 whole sides of A4 paper. This means it can fit landscape, oversized and multipage scores, allowing conductors to read their music with ease and without having to turn the page!
Like all Manhasset stands, the fourscore music stand is “knob-free”, instead using a magic finger shaft clutch and friction tilt neck joint so it can be securely adjusted to any height with a simple push or pull.
This stand can also hold 4kg of music, and with a desk depth of 2.25” (5.7cm) they can hold heavy books and big music anthologies. For extra strength, they are made from solid aluminum with all-steel welded bases that provide great stability, ensuring it will last you a long time. If you want your stand to be even stronger and hold up to 34kg of music, you can purchase the MAN2400 music stand lock which we have available as well.
The fourscore music stand is also very manageable on the road, with the desks being able to fold all the way back, reducing the height of the stand to 90cm. Weighing only 4.1kg, it is then easy to carry around between orchestra performances or lessons.

The Manhasset regal music stand:
The Manhasset Regal music stand combines features from various other Manhasset models in one amazing product perfect for conductors. It includes double layer storage featured in the Manhasset director stand, the orchestral stands dual-lip shelf and a fourscore stand sized extra wide desk. For extra strength, this stand also uses 2 support posts, so you can be sure it will securely hold all your music when conducting.
This stand also features the “knob-free” height adjustment seen throughout the Manhasset stand range, allowing you to easily heighten and lower its position as you practice or conduct. For optimum rigidity, the regal music stand is then made from solid aluminum, and the desk can be folded back to help with storage, making it great for school orchestra conductors that need to store it away in classrooms in between rehearsals.

RAT Conductor Stands

Since the 1970s, RAT stands have been providing nothing but the highest quality for musicians around the world. With the RAT jazz stand, performer stand, alto stand and more, RAT stands are a reliable and amazing manufacturer for all musicians.

RAT concert conductor stand:
The base of this conductor stand is made from tubular steel, allowing for fantastic strength without any excess weight, and it is also coated in black nylon for extra durability. The heavy-gauge steel stem is another strong feature of the RAT concert conductor stand, coated in scratch-resistant epoxy and easily adjustable so you can smoothly alter the stand’s height without any swaying.
Weighing only 3.7kg, it is also very manageable to move around, meaning you can take it between studios, classrooms, and recital halls with ease.
It also includes a double lip which provides space for stationary and small instruments, lined with foam rubber to not cause instruments any damage as well as eliminate noise.
If you choose to buy multiple of these great stands for your orchestra or music department, the RAT Concert Stand trolley is a perfect additional purchase to easily transport and store them.

RAT opera conductor’s music stand:
With a tray large enough even for the biggest opera scores, the opera conductor music stand features a chip resistant black finish and is acoustically neutral. It is a perfect stand for the orchestra pit, the light output from the lamp being carefully controlled so it falls only on the score and nothing else, not distracting the player or audience.
The rubber feet in the design then ensure 6-point contact, even when on an un-even surface, the rubber also protecting your floor and preventing clatter. The position of the lamp has also been expertly thought out, so that the conductor can still clearly see the orchestra in the pit while conducting.
The LED itself is sold separately, and can be purchased here – RAT-66Q62UK
