When I ordered this accessory shelf the description made it sound it might not be usable on many stands. Frankly, I can't see how it won't work with just about any stand, meaning only in some rare cases. Also is the objection that it has the appearance of being easily breakable. It might be but you would have to do something way out of the ordinary to do break it. It is just plastic, but that does not mean it doesn't serve its function completely well.

Regardless of all the apprehensions and really unfounded concerns of breaking and so on, it immediately removes the clutter from the stand and places frequently used items quickly within reach. This is really useful when on a stand such as at home so you don't go reaching for tuners and so on. It keeps everything nicely within reach.

Because it is plastic so it could break, but I have had it for some time now and the stand has hit the floor and it works just fine. If there is one complaint it is that there is no lip or enclosure at the ends so if the stand tilts everything (pencils, markers, etc) fall off, but they would do this anyway if left beneath the music. Yet that is easily fixed by using some of that sticky putty for hanging pictures under a small shallow plastic tray inserted on the bottom.

I think this type of accessory is a must for any stand. I've seen professional stands with this shelf built in, mine didn't have one so I went looking and found this great item. I am completely happy with it. It makes the whole music process just that more enjoyable and improves one's ease when studying and practicing. Plus it removes quickly and easily when folding up the stand.

It is a great thing and can't be beat for all the ease of use, flexibility, and functionality it provides.

This shelf is a great little addition to your Manhasset stand. Will hold pencils, guitar picks, conducting batons, and the like. I've even put a flute on mine! It won't hold anything heavy, though. If you have a Manhasset stand, get one. (I even got two--they can clip to each other so I have two shelves, one below the other!)

So I play in a Mandolin orchestra. We get new music every week, and the director has us add notes to the sheet music. Plus, sometimes the music is for multiple parts,...Pencil and highlighters are a must and you either keep them on the floor, or when you have them on the music stand,..they go to the floor when you turn pages,
voila!
an accessory shelf. Slides right on, holds my pencil, highlighter, picks, and I can clip my tuner to it.

Some great ideas are the simplest,

I got this because I saw others with them. I'm betting we'll all have them before long.

This is a nice idea; however, I kept knocking it off the stand. I finally had to remove it. It would take a while to get used to, and maybe in time I would. However, the location of the shelf is where one would often grab the stand. It is made of a hard rubber or plastic type substance rather than metal . . . no big deal, just different than I thought when I purchased it.

I purchased 2 of these accessory shelves. They are super helpful. I love that my pencils and tuning gear don't go flying to the floor, every time I turn a page or switch a book! I wondered if the accessory shelf would fall off easily, but it doesn't. The attaching "lip" is made of a folded layer of plastic that "hugs" the metal lip of a normal music stand. The only problem I found, was that some music stands have a curved metal edge that prevents this accessory shelf from attaching. Specifically, the Hamilton KB90 Traveler II Portable Music Stand is not blunt cut on the stand's shelf edge, so it makes the edge too thick for this accessory shelf to attach. So check your music stand's shelf edge before buying this! My favorite music stand for numerous reasons (including accommodating this neat accessory shelf) is: On-Stage SM7211 Professional Folding Orchestral Music Stand, Black It fits well into the Hamilton carrying bag, making it sturdy yet portable. Wouldn't it be nice if someone sold a quality, portable music stand with shelf and carrying bag in one great package deal?

The idea for this shelf is very good. Using it for pencils, oils, sticky notes, tuners, etc. is a great thought. However, the product itself is made of cheap flimsy plastic that too easily comes off the stand. I have knocked it off (or the stuff on it) by accident a few times by bending over to pick up mutes. There are ridges on the top of the holder that can get in the way of turning music. The shelf itself is 16" long and a little less than 2 1/2" high.

I was disappointed by this item. As mentioned by others it is a cheap plastic extrusion. Not previously mentioned is that it has longitudinal ribs that interfere with turning the pages of one's music book. I ended up moving it from the music stand's bottom lip to the top edge, hanging over the back, where it can still hold pencils (and my Korg tuner) but does not interfere with turning pages. My hope is that it can remain in that position when I acquire a music stand lamp.

This is a great purchase. I am a working musician (keyboards) and have a lot of rehearsals at my house. Just having a little pencil on my music stand at all times has made this totally worthwhile.

It hooks onto my other stand which I think is a Pro-el. It might be seomthing else, though. The way the thing is made, I imagine it would work on any stand out there.

Piece of plastic with no bracing. Due to design, will not attach to stands that have a turned lip on the shelf (which is most quality stands). I used double-sided sticky tape -- problem solved. Gives me a place to stow my guitar picks, tuner, capo and pencil and as such, is an invaluable accessory. Worth the 6 bucks, just be aware you may have to improvise when it comes to attaching it to your stand!

My stand accessory works perfectly for what I need. Very sturdy and holds my piccolo like I need it to.
