Percussion instruments are the oldest type of musical instruments with many different musical personalities. As our Company name implies, all our instruments are true percussion instruments, designed explicitly for permanent outdoor installation. Constraints of volume and space disappear outdoors and players can experiment and explore the sounds of these large scale percussion instruments freely.
The term percussion means ‘struck’ and strictly speaking percussion instruments are those that will produce a sound when they are struck with a beater, mallet or hand. New instruments are always being invented and added to the percussionist’s repertoire – likewise Percussion Play are always developing and expanding their range of outdoor musical instruments. For example the recent launch of Inspired By Nature a collection of nature-themed botanical outdoor musical instruments beginning with musical flowers.
