Backline: Strings, Drumheads & Stands

Backline covers the stage-side hardware that supports musicians and their instruments, keyboard stands, guitar stands, music stands, and performer seating. It’s the kit that rarely appears on a rider but stops a show when it’s missing.
We stock Adam Hall and Gravity throughout, both built for touring use rather than domestic practice: steel and aluminium construction, load-rated joints, and finishes that survive repeated get-ins. Whether you’re specifying for a venue, a hire stock, or a house band, these are the items that get set up and struck every night.

Backline FAQs

What counts as backline here? The stage-side support kit, keyboard, guitar and music stands, performer seating, from Adam Hall and Gravity, built for touring rather than bedroom duty.

Why does stand quality matter? Because the failure mode is a guitar on the floor mid-set. Rated, stable stands cost little against what they hold.
