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

“I discovered Percussion Play at the ACA conference in Orlando in 2023 and decided to place an order via their new app. It’s a great feature for camp Directors like myself to use, and I encourage others to download it to help bring their musical programs to life!”

Raina Baker, Executive Director,

Camp Beausite (Camp For People of All Abilities)

Case Study

We knew when we saw the Petal Drums that they would fit perfectly in the Music Garden and the little children would be excited by them. We then looked at other options and added in the Rainbow Cavatina – something our older kids are loving – they get to play recognizable tunes!” “We knew that we would be getting a high-quality product, and it has been a huge hit with our campers,”

Jewish Community Centre of Greater Buffalo (JCC)

Case Study

In the theatre, we host performances where professionals, such as the Santa Fe Symphony, come and perform. It's beautiful to see how Percussion Play's instruments align nicely with what is going on in the theatre. We see kids reflect what is happening on stage—they copy and make their own music!"

Hannah Hausman, Executive Director,

Santa Fe Children's Museum

Case Study

We had a pollinator garden at the entrance to our center and we were looking at ways to rejuvenate the garden as it was a lot to maintain so we were really looking at ways to enhance what we already had. A science center near us had a range of Percussion Play instruments, so we were inspired to create a musical garden using these instruments as we were so impressed by them

Case Study

'We have been absolutely thrilled with the music equipment supplied by Percussion Play. Our Early Years and Key Stage 1 children use it on a daily basis, enriching both learning and play. It is a joy to see them enjoying it so much and a year on it still looks as good it did on day one. Thank you!'
