Creating Harmony Around the World

At Percussion Play, we're passionate about transforming outdoor spaces into inclusive, musical, and joyful places for people of all ages and abilities. As the world’s leading manufacturer of outdoor musical instruments, we blend creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation to make music accessible in parks, schools, playgrounds, and public spaces around the globe.

With over two decades of experience in the play industry, our mission is simple: to lead the way in high-quality, inclusive outdoor music solutions. We believe musical play is a powerful tool - it sparks creativity, builds social bonds, supports cognitive and physical development, and brings joy to everyone, everywhere.

Every Percussion Play instrument is thoughtfully designed to invite spontaneous music-making and playful exploration. From concept to creation, we combine musicality, artistry, and engineering to produce instruments that sound as good as they look - and last for years in all weather conditions. Accessibility is always at the top of mind, ensuring that individuals of all abilities can enjoy our instruments.

What our customers say

“It's been a HUGE hit. I like it because it sounds like windchimes outside of my office. We've signed up 5 people with library cards just from them pulling over to look at the garden”

Angela Powell | Branch Manager ,

Johnson Memorial Library, Hicksville, Ohio

“People just love it. We see visitors stop as they walk by, hear the sounds, and feel drawn in. It’s so inviting - you can’t help but want to join in and play. At first, some people were worried it would just be a racket - we’re right in the heart of the community - but it sounds amazing. People really appreciate the music; it draws them in from the street."
