ABOUT NOISY CLAN

Everyone should make more NOISE!

We believe that music, noise, sound, whatever you’d like to call it, brings people together and improves the world. Music enhances emotions, cuts through social and political barriers and lifts spirits whether you are making or listening to it. Music is universal and we are all on our own musical journey whether we create, play or consume. Noisy Clan wants to support you on your journey.

Who we are:

Noisy Clan is a small company, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, composed of enthusiasts, designers, music creators and consumers who want to have more people make more music.

What we do:

We create and produce unique designs of accessories and music tools for enthusiasts across the world to aid them on their musical journey.

We strive to improve on what is out there and to make music accessories more usable. We try to address users' needs, put a fresh spin (literally with our Decoder Circle of Fifths) on design, and to build products that we enjoy using and would want our friends and family to use.

Why we do what we do:

Founded by David and Yulie Law in Edinburgh in 2018 the eureka moment came for them watching their children struggle to school with traditional music stands - bulky, heavy, sharp edges and not fun to use or even store - something had to be done… introducing WEE STAND!

After many, many prototypes we launched Wee Stand on Kickstarter in 2021 and shipped over 3000 units to 40+ countries worldwide. From there Noisy Clan assembled a team of innovators, creatives, learners and most importantly - music lovers to bring great products to aspiring musicians.

At the core of Noisy Clan, you’ll find musicians who have encountered the same struggles you have and are no longer willing to be drowned out in the crowd. Every Noisy Clan product is infused with a spark of innovation to solve the daily struggles of musicians around the world.

Our products are worth shouting about! The award-winning Wee Stand is 550g making it ultra-lightweight and portable. This pint-sized stand packs a punch and can be quickly set up and packed away in seconds so you never miss a beat!

Grandstand is our take on the home music stand, its elegant design makes it a stunning centerpiece for any music room. Grandstand is equipped with a multitude of features that eliminate the struggles of playing with old music stands. It includes our Quick Click mechanism allowing you to swap media plates with a simple and satisfying click.

Rory is a graphic fanatic, and globe trotter of the group. His ideal radio show would be an experimental 80’s/90’s concoction.

With his creative eye, Rory wants to help bring accessible and fun learning to music theory laymen (such as himself) using design.
Favourite instrument: percussion!
