Unique Line of Conductor Stands Meets Professional Orchestra Needs
RAT Music Stands Ltd has announced the introduction of a new range of Conductor’s stands. They combine unique professional designs with a range of tray materials and styles to meet the needs of the most demanding maestros, orchestras and music venues.
The premier product in the line is the Grand Opera Conductor’s stand. It is designed for semi-permanent installation in the orchestra pit of large opera houses and similar facilities. The stand has an adjustable tray width, low profile base with adjustable feet and wheels and features three Tungsten halogen lamps that surround the tray. The lamps are adjustable for height, reach and angle. The height of the Grand Opera stand is also electrically adjustable with digital readout of height and two memory pre-sets. The adjustable tray width and very slim lamps enable any size of score to be accommodated without undue obstruction of the view. The extra lights at the sides of the tray give even and very bright illumination of the score, and sufficient light is reflected off the score to illuminate the maestro as well. Electric height adjustment puts control at the maestro’s fingertips. A matching electrically height- adjustable conductor rostrum is also available.
For surroundings with more avant-garde styling there is the Opera Conductor’s stand. The tray is formed of black nylon coated steel rods. This striking look is similar to the company’s famous Opera stand. The Opera conductor’s stand has a tray large enough for the biggest opera score. Its elegant, minimalist design and very slim lamp ensure that the musicians get the best possible view of the conductor. The lamp can be folded under the tray if not required. And, its powerful light is carefully controlled to avoid dazzling the audience.
The Concert Conductor’s stand is ideal for performances in lit venues, using all but the largest scores. Its design matches that of the Concert stand. Ideal for venues with wood accented surroundings, the tray is formed in one piece from natural birch wood, stained and lacquered to beech. A two halogen bulb clip-on lamp, the RATstands Twin HaloLight, is available as an accessory.
