Will the MUTE CADDY products fit a Rat Stand?

Riojazz

Mute Caddy looks like they have helpful mute holder products.

I've written to the manufacturer, but perhaps someone here will know.

The two Mute Caddy products, the Artist model and the Longoria model, are clearly designed to fit a Manhasset stand perfectly. I prefer to carry a Rat Stand to a gig. The collapsible Rat Stand does not have the round pole that most products would clamp onto. Instead it has an aluminum stem that is approximately 1.5 " wide and .75 " deep at the top. Here's a description: https://www.ratstands.com/product/the-jazz-stand/

Will either Mute Caddy product fit?

ps I already have the wire loop style of mute holder, and while that works, it clamps off to the side of the Rat Stand in a way that partially hides the mutes. Hence, my question about the Mute Caddy products and Rat Stands. Thanks.

I can answer one part of my own question. I had originally looked at the Mute Caddy ad on a phone device with a small screen, but on the desktop computer it is quite clear that the Longoria model will not fit the 'lip' of a Rat Stand.

Does anyone know if the Artist model will clamp on the Rat Stand and still face the player?

And now I can answer the other part of the question. The inventor wrote and said that some people with Rat Stands do use the Artist mute caddy. I've just ordered one, so I will know soon.

OK, I realize there isn't a great deal of interest in responding here, but since there are hundreds reading this drama:

My Artist Mute Caddy arrived. It's wonderful on a Manhasset stand, and on a Pro Line stand. Both these stands have a round vertical pole to clamp to.

It does not fit on my Rat Stand. I'm going to fool with some different length bolts which may fix this.

Hey Matt,

PM me the dimensions of the stand where you want it to clamp to, some pics would help also with the two products interfacing. Maybe I can print up an adapter of sorts. Email to my sales(at)s-mute.com
