Keyboard & Equipment Hire
Liquid Productions offer synthesiser/workstation keyboards and associated equipment for hire around the UK and Northern Ireland. We deliver by courier so location is not generally an issue.
The equipment was originally put together for amateur productions of Jesus Christ Superstar but they can be used for any show, whether requiring just a piano keyboard or a more complex synth. They have been used for example in productions of Beauty and the Beast, Les Miserables Schools Edition, Billy Elliot, We Will Rock You, Copacabana, Tommy, Fame, The Likes of Us, Chess, The Boyfriend, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Singin' in the Rain and Crazy For You.
They are also useful for anyone looking for a keyboard in general for rehearsals, concerts, weddings and so on. Single or multiple keyboards are available, in full-size 88-note weighted or smaller synth-key versions.
As mentioned, the current amateur release of Jesus Christ Superstar specifies the use of three Korg Trinity (or Yamaha Motif) keyboards. We have put together affordable hire deals on one, two, or all three keyboards required to stage this production - the normal hire is for two smaller keyboards plus one 88-note one (which is our recommended choice).
The keyboards are all fully flight-cased and go by standard courier so delivery costs are the same for the whole of the UK mainland (other addresses with a UK postcode are usually okay too, such as Northern Ireland although there is a surcharge for ferry crossings etc.). Stands can be supplied if needed. We also have a couple of keyboard amps/monitors but as these are not currently flight-cased they are really only available for pick-up hires.
New to the hire stock is a Fantom X8, upgraded with the Audio Track Expansion plus Yamaha Motif keyboards, further details on request.
Please use our Contact Us page on the left for more details and pricing information etc.
Here are a couple of 'action shots':
It's not a great picture, but this is from the UK amateur premiere of Beauty and the Beast in the King's, Edinburgh. At the top is the piano keyboard (not ours).
Next down is our Fantom G8 (not available for hire) doing the synth part, followed by the Fantom X8 as the string keyboard.
At the bottom is a small Trinity doing the percussion part (this was the alternative/larger orchestration) - it can cover the vast majority of this part including timps etc.
The Fife premiere of Beauty and the Beast this time with the same orchestration but in a different configuration. The Fantoms are doing the same roles but at the bottom is one of our Pro X Trinities on the piano part (it has celeste etc. in it too) and the small Trinity at the top left is covering the harp part.
