No one knows who invented the first music stand, but it is probably safe to say they came into being soon after music had first been written down. In Syria, tablets as old as 2,400 years have been found containing the equivalent of musical scales. However, the earliest concrete evidence of the actual use of the sheet music stand dates only to around 200 B.C. This was found in China. Modern day-type music stands didn't come into popular use until about the 1300's. German and Swiss composers are credited with first using them.
