With the easy service of Nick Parnell Percussion Academy Marimba hire, it allowed me to achieve an encore nomination for my HSC music course. Rather than practising at school, the use of the Marimba hire made it easy and accessible to rehearse my HSC repertoire daily’.

We have loved having a beautiful marimba in our home, it sounds and looks stunning. The hiring was easy to arrange and trouble free when we returned it. A great experience all round, thank you!

FAQ's

Q: What if I don’t have any mallets? A: If you require marimba mallets they can be easily purchased when you order or separately through the shop link located top right of your screen.
Q: Will it fit in my house? A: Yes. The marimbas are compact (140cm x 80cm) and are on wheels so can be easily moved. They also come apart so can be taken easily upstairs. You will need to keep any packaging the instrument comes in for when you return it.
Q: Can anyone hire? A: If you live in Australia and it is for a school or student's private use, then you can hire. Applicants must be over 18 years of age, so if you are a student simply get your parents/guardian to go through the online hiring process. If you do not fit the criteria, please e-mail us.
Q: How long is a hire period? A: We hire in 3 month time periods. You may cease the hire at the end of any hire period by sending an e-mail academy@nickparnell.com at least 2 weeks prior.
Q: Do you sell instruments? A: No. We believe at school student level it is best to hire due to the significant cost of purchasing and long importation periods (often 6 months) as retailers rarely have them in stock. However, we are happy to offer advise - please e-mail academy@nickparnell.com
