In 1976 the Orchestra Manager of the Welsh National Opera commissioned his brother to design a completely new illuminated music stand. The Orchestra bought 50 of the stands and the RAT opera stand was born. This original stand was designed and made by Andrew, who then formed a company with two friends, Rolf and Tom. They named the company R.A.T. Music Stands.
It became clear that people in the theatre industry had started to refer to music stands in general as “rat stands”, much in the same way many people refer to vacuum cleaners as hoovers. In 2012 we acknowledged this by changing the company’s name to RATstands.
