No safer surfacing

Our instruments are designed to be played while standing on the ground and should not be climbed on. Under BS EN-1177, they do not require any impact-absorbing surfacing.

All our instruments are easy to play and designed for easy installation. Product-specific installation instructions are sent with each product, although you can download a replacement if necessary.

Percussion Play is proud to have all its instruments made in Great Britain. We distribute our outdoor musical instruments to nearly every country in the world through independent distributors worldwide.
