The RAT stands Alto Music Stand are ideal for school or college practice rooms and great with musicians on risers too. Every school wants an unbreakable music stand which nests for compact storage, has no knobs to fiddle with or get lost, and has a range of height adjustment to suit a child cellist as well as a singer standing on a riser – the RAT Alto does the job!

Like all Rat stands, the Alto is stylish and good looking too
Made from materials that are unbreakable yet will not damage things they are bashed into, this high performance, cost-effective music stand offers the biggest range of height adjustment of any stand on the market, while the design enables them to stack easily and compactly.

Add to that some features normally only found on more expensive stands, including an aluminium stem, rubber feet to protect your floor, an extra lip on the music tray for pencils and erasers, and the lowest storage height on the market.
Best of all you will be purchasing a British designed music stand from a UK company.

The best features of the RAT Alto Stand

Greater range of height adjustments
The Alto Stand has a greater range of height adjustment than any other stand. The one stand covers the applications for which other manufacturers require three different music stands.

Additional shelf
The tray has an additional shelf for pencils and small instruments.

Stackable
Unlike other stands which can only be nested on a purpose made trolley, the Alto stand nests on a flat floor. Alto trolleys are available for effective storage – however if you just want to pile them up in a corner, or put them in a cupboard, you can.

Friction locks
Friction locks automatically hold the tray and stem at whatever angle or height you set. There are no knobs to fiddle with or lose, and it will never go slack.

The Alto Stand Storage trolley
You can store 16 alto stands on one of our easy to use and robust storage trolleys. The trolley fits through doors easily and has braked swivel castors.
Order code - RAT-88Q04

Injection moulded base
The base is made of a polymer which does not “ring” or cause damage when knocked.
