Rainbow Collection

Inspired by the joy and wonder of rainbows, our collection features bright, cheerful instruments designed to introduce young children to music in a fun, accessible way. With color-coded notes tuned to a simple rainbow scale, even toddlers can follow basic tunes, helping them explore concepts like pitch, tempo, and rhythm. These instruments promote creativity and self-expression while supporting key developmental skills like language, memory, and dexterity.

Drums

The outdoor drum is undoubtedly the oldest instrument in the world, from a hollowed-out log covered in animal skin to a dried gourd, the drum has been the anchor of rhythm throughout the ages. A member of the percussion family, drums come in many shapes and sizes and can be used in practically every style and genre of music. Some drums are more common than others, notably Timpani, Snare and Bass playing an integral role in the overall feel of a piece of music.

Xylophones & Metallophones

Our xylophones and metallophones allow people to make some fantastic music without any lessons or training. Visitors love just playing around to discover the different kinds of sounds each instrument can make. They’ll soon discover how hard or soft to play, they’ll explore beat (pulse), rhythms, and experiment with creating their own melodies

Marimbas

These large outdoor marimbas are very popular and ideal for school playgrounds, music therapy sessions, and creative playgrounds. Our outdoor marimbas enable both musicians and non-musicians to create music in engaging outdoor environments.

Aerophones

Plosive Aerophones are such a simple idea but make pretty awesome outdoor musical instruments. These music-making instruments, look and sound so intriguing visitors cannot resist having a try when they encounter them. They are so easy and rewarding to play and yet most people have never heard of them before.

Ground Instruments

They are activated by the weight of individuals walking, jumping, dancing, or wheeling across their sturdy non-slip surface, creating a fun and engaging experience for people of all ages. Not only do they add life to public spaces, but they also encourage connections across generations. Both children and adults can enjoy playing together and composing their own music in the great outdoors. These Floor Pianos, Stepping Stones, and Harmony Hop are made of heavy-duty stainless steel, which makes them durable and long-lasting.
