The Rat Music stand came about when one of the U.Ks leading opera companies commissioned a design for an new illuminated music stand in 1976.Since then

More than 500 opera houses ,theatres, concert halls and civic centres from all round the world have come to appreciate there unique strength, stability, superb lighting,

Stackability,and highly attractive design.

All rat stands have optional purpose made lamps to fit and are designed to give the best possible illumination with the minimum amount of light spillage.

They have a greater range of height adjustment and there unique stacking ability enables them to be stored tidily away in places where othe stands would not fit..

These elegant distinctive stands would look equally at home in a concert hall, an auditorium, a studio-setting opera house, church, and nightclub or in your own home. They are made of real grain wood

Or extruded aluminium and though they look everything they were intended for

They have the ability to look more like a piece of stylish furniture that you could leave permently on display.

Whatever your style whatever the venue,we have a range of stands that would suite you. Consider this , being seen with a rat stand will send out a message that says to everyone who sees you 'Music really matters to this person'. So if you want to be taken seriously as a musician order one now.
