Musical Play
Some kids find the drum before they find the slide. Outdoor musical instruments in Jarrah give them something that sounds right when hit: a djembe drum with a stainless steel playing surface, or a glockenspiel with tuned stainless steel keys on bush poles that stays in tune through a Perth summer.
These pieces are listed as inclusive options: on suitable surfacing, or with a minor change on request, they can support inclusive play alongside everyone else. Explore the range and see what fits your project, and if you have an idea of your own, let us know. We supply and install across WA, and supply nationally with installation drawings for your contractor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies make outdoor musical instruments for playgrounds in Australia?
Van Ryt Industries makes outdoor musical instruments for playgrounds in its O'Connor, Western Australia workshop and supplies them Australia-wide. The range covers a Xylophone, a Log Piano, a Djembe Drum, a Glockenspiel on Bush Poles, a Krin Bush Pole Drum, a Rain Wheel and a Cowbell. All are West Australian Jarrah with stainless steel playing parts. Every piece is also designed in accordance with AS 4685. So it suits a public playground rather than a music room.
Are VRI outdoor musical instruments weatherproof?
Yes. VRI builds playground musical instruments for full weather exposure. They are West Australian Jarrah hardwood (subject to availability), and every exposed surface carries a weather-resistant water-based oil finish. Sounding parts that live outdoors are typically stainless steel, such as the Glockenspiel keys and the Djembe Drum top. Beaters stay tethered or secured, so they survive seasons of public use.
Can outdoor musical instruments be set at a height for seated players?
Yes, on request. The Xylophone and the Rain Wheel, for example, can be ordered with the playing height within reach of smaller children or a child seated in a wheelchair. The Log Piano can also go without its integrated log seat where clear approach matters. State the required height on the order and the workshop builds the musical playground equipment to it.
