Our service for Music Education Suppliers

Percussion Plus offer a wide selection of percussion instruments specially designed for young children. Desk bells, hand bells, glockenspiels, Wak-a-tubes, hand chimes, chime bars and more – all utilising our popular colour note matching system.

Many of these instruments are still made in the same small partner factory in Taiwan which is operated by the son of the original man who came up with the idea of colour matching bells – They are superb quality and tuned to within +/- 5 cents. Several interesting resources are available for schools including our free downloadable Wak-a-tune songbook.

Jumbies come with a desktop or floor stand, and the surface of the pan features a G major scale spanning one octave from G4 to G5.

This offers a fun, efficient, and rapid learning experience. Jumbie Jams are very popular for classroom group instruction and SEND, with a large number of books and online resources available.
