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!

Hannah H. (Perth)

It goes without saying that if your child learns a musical instrument they need to practice daily. Having a marimba at home is one of the best investments you can make to help achieve their musical potential. With the best customer service in town, you can’t wrong hiring a marimba from nickparnell.com

FAQ's

Q: What if I don’t have any mallets? A: If you require mallets they can easily be purchased at the checkout.
Q: Will it fit in my house? A: Yes. The vibraphones are compact (130cm x 75cm) and are on wheels so can be easily moved. They also come apart so can be taken easily upstairs.
Q: Can anyone hire? A: If you live in Australia and it is for private use or a school, 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 are a school, please follow the schools hire tab.
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. Please contact us directly at [email protected] if you require short term hire.
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.
