Testimonials
Thousands of organizations have come to us wanting our help to bring music and harmony to their parks and playgrounds, schools, nursing homes, hospitals, hospices, museums and family-attractions, and many other different settings.
We strongly believe in extending play beyond the traditional, making play inclusive and the positivity of multi-generational interaction. Music has great power for bringing people together and including musical instruments in a park, playground or trail makes music-making irresistible for people of all cultures, ages, and abilities.

Jayne Klose, Community Engagement Manager Dayton Metro Library Dayton, Ohio
"The children are drawn to the instruments – it's a real highlight of their visit to us. We have families coming and going from the library who always start or finish their trip with a music jam. The beauty of these instruments is that the whole family can play. They're for everyone."
Case StudyAlice Bridges - Director of Special Projects, Parks Alliance of Louisville Alberta O. Jones Park, Louisville, Kentucky
“It’s a truly intergenerational product, and we continue to see both adults and children engage in play together. We’ve been surprised by how much the park has been used in the cold and grey winter months, but the instruments really draw people to the park. We’re getting rave reviews!”

“This is an underserved community that often doesn't get the best of the best. When we looked at the Percussion Play website, we fell in love with the quality and how interactive they are. They are extremely durable, too, which is very important. The instruments won’t break and hurt somebody.“
Case StudyLeah Oppenheimer, Director of Community Outreach Children's Museum of the East End, Bridgehampton, New York
“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 StudyRev. Kris Litman-Koon All-Saints Lutheran Church, Mount Please, South Carolina,
My 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 StudyEmily Sitzes - Director of Community Wellness Laclede Groves Lutheran Senior Services Community, Webster Groves, Missouri, USA
"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.”
