“We now have music to listen to all day thanks to the position of the ensemble of instruments. Not only are they a hit with our guests- both children and parents, they’re a hit with the entire team here! What’s great about the instruments is that parents are interested in playing them too, so children and parents play together. Thanks to the instruments being on the pentatonic scale, you can never play a bad note, so every tune played is beautiful to listen to. It’s such a joy to hear children and parents jamming together; in my book, every children’s museum should add these to their offering!”
Case StudyMy congregation decided to convert an outdoor space into a musically interactive area that is accessible to all. The Percussion Play website guided us in making our decisions. The staff was extremely helpful throughout the purchase process. Since my congregation is based in South Carolina, USA, the staff at Percussion Play also assisted us with the intricacies of an international order, as well as making sure we had help in navigating U.S. Customs and Border Patrol process. Everything arrived in perfect condition, and the assembly of the various pieces is minimal. If you know how to set a fence post in concrete, you already know how to do the hardest part of the installation (and if you don't have that knowledge, the instruments come with instructions). Our Sound Garden has been a delight for all ages, and we hope to purchase some more instruments from Percussion Play in the coming years to expand the space. I give Percussion Play my highest recommendation.
Case Study"We wanted to go with a company we knew was secure and compared Percussion Play to another large company. We were really drawn to the vibrancy of the instruments, and we could hear the sounds they made on the website. These recordings were really helpful when choosing. We loved the collections from Percussion Play as we wanted them to be vibrant and draw people in. The Rainbow Collection really fits that focus, and we loved the Calypso Chimes and the Rainbow Chimes. We also loved how natural the instruments felt. Being inspired by nature was important, so we chose the Harmony Flowers.”
Case StudyI am so glad we are in partnership with your company. It's a win-win! Thank you.
I can't tell you how very pleased I am (and our school is) with your company from the quality of the products to the customer service from the very beginning to now (and I think the PTO wants to continue this relationship in the future as well)
We absolutely love it. The Lord Mayor of London visited our school and enjoyed listening to the instruments. We’d be interested to add more to the installation through next year and will be in touch if finance allows!
The instruments also help to build fine motor skills as they are learning to play the instruments using the mallets provided. It allows children to release some energy in numerous ways whether they are hitting the bongos, running from flower to flower, or moving from bell to bell. The children are enjoying the outside, while using many different senses to create some wonderful sounds. Lastly, it is aesthetically welcoming to our whole community (visually and physically) as many family members who enjoy stopping and playing whether it be for a quick minute or whether they stay and play for some time.”
Case StudyOur students love to have several friends playing all different instruments all at the same time. The students love to run from one instrument to the other either collaborating with friends or taking some time to create music by themselves. These instruments affirm the love of music in the Bee School they bring so much joy and sound to our campus.”
Case StudyPercussion Play has very good staff members with excellent follow through. They are among the best equipment vendors I've had the good fortune of working with. Their pricing is competitive, and their selection is good. When I couldn't find the item I was looking for, their staff worked with me on a custom design instrument that ended up better than I'd imagined. There was one slight design flaw which they immediately corrected. I highly recommend this company.
Case StudyThe team at Percussion Play was so patient and kind. It felt like an unusual experience as no company I have ever worked with has helped me in that way”.
Case StudyAs you can see in the photos, our beautiful sunflower petal drums are located along our StoryWalk trail. The area also features a Sensory Path. Patrons are enjoying the enchanting sounds of the drums, and their beautiful appearance beckons patrons as they enter our parking lot.
Case StudyThe Sunflower Petal Drums are installed and being enjoyed by MANY!!
Case StudyThank you so much we are having so much fun with the Akadinda, it is a wonderful piece.
“The percussion sets are a win-win in many aspects! They add to the aesthetic of the public space, expose children to musical instruments, allow children to express themselves in a new way, and stimulate sensory learning.”
Case StudyThese instruments are high quality and well-made. We put them in our children's museum and guests love them. The sounds are gentle on the ears and enjoyable even when kids don't quite have musical skill yet. They are also quite pretty.
Case Study“We know how popular the instruments are, so we were really keen to add more. The instruments are scattered around the area and bring it to life with the bright colors. Children enjoy the flowers and what is great is that they are inclusive, so everyone, regardless of age or ability, can play and make music. On some quiet days at the farm, the sound from the instruments is stunning. The pentatonic tuning can be calming despite having many children playing the instruments all at once”.
Case StudyPercussion Play Limited saved the day as a very easy, professional company to work with when we hoped to add interactive musical instruments to our hospital's very own DinoSoar Garden. I had to get quotes several times to submit to the donors, and Daniel Fry was very quick with his responses. He also provided me with experienced info on what would work best. I sent photos of the space and was provided photos back of how the instruments would best look in place. Once all choices were made, payment from the US was very easy. I was given very precise information on the proper installation of each piece of equipment - very easily attained from the website - and those diagrams were given to our contract installers. We have had zero issues with the quality of the equipment. I was kept aware of the tracking every step of the way. We also added engraving for the donor on one piece of equipment and it came out beautifully. The sound of all of the pieces we chose are just as stated, but I think the Samba Drums were better than expected. All in all I had a very positive experience working with this company and would not hesitate to work with them again.
Case Study”Music is at the heart of worship, so creating a music garden in memory of Louine, who was such a central figure within both the music community and wider community in Liberty Hill, seems a fitting way to pay tribute. I’m sure that we’ll be seeing budding music stars of the future learn their love of music thanks to our new music garden.”
Case Study“Outdoor learning is a huge part of the school. We believe there is no better place to educate and excite our pupils than within our beautiful grounds. Having the large instruments outside enables the children to be creative and work together freely outside the formal music lessons to make music and sounds. Older pupils can work with the younger ones. We can use the instruments in science to really experience vibrations and how sound travels. They can be used for Drama/Dance and as a stimulus or accompaniment to creative writing. Playing the instruments can develop fine motor skills and promotes well-being, and children of all ages can use them. We can also look at how they are made and how the sound is created to support a DT project.”
Case Study“We are delighted by the response from the community to our new instruments in the park. They provide a new element to the area, and people enjoy coming here to make music”.
Case Study“We have nothing but praise for them. It’s lovely to see families enjoy them together. The children go out and enjoy playing on them with their parents and grandparents; it is a way of getting people together. We positioned three outdoor instruments in a group so they can be played together and individually.”
Case Study“We wanted to create an area where children can explore independently – and most importantly, we wanted the experience to have an educational component. Music was a natural direction because everyone loves music! We have two complimentary play areas in Rosita’s Harmony Hills – the lower garden area for the smaller children and the upper area for big kids and the whole family. We incorporated musical instruments in both areas. Percussion Play’s instruments were a great choice because of the selection of both traditional-looking instruments and garden-themed instruments, which helped create a beautiful space for everyone to explore and enjoy. Musical instruments were chosen particularly because Sesame Street’s Rosita loves to play guitar and create music with her Sesame Street friends!
Case StudyThe first impression people get as they come into the science museum is the music installation at the front. It’s a great way to entice children to come in and explore the museum. After fundraising for the instruments and receiving a grant, we built the main music room, but we were keen to have something physical for the children to do and make music outside. Percussion Play’s instruments were perfect. The children enjoy playing them and making music, and because of how the instruments are tuned, they always sound nice. Having this musical installation is also benefiting the local community. While people walk their dogs in the nearby park, they can hear the fun people are having at our museum
Case StudyWe have Soprano Quartet instruments at 5 of our 9 library branches and are hoping to add them to all of our branches. We were looking for something to pull people out onto our outdoor patios in our new buildings, and these have been perfect. The company is great to work with and their products are exceptionally high quality.
Case Study“Our outdoor musical instruments provided by Percussion Play were an instant hit with library patrons of all ages once they were installed in the grounds of our new building. From spontaneous ‘concerts’ to a simple tap of delight on a drum, these have brought a wonderful sense of joy to the community.”
