How our reviews work

  • A few days after your order ships we'll email you a link to leave a review. When your feedback is published it will carry a Customer verified badge, so others know it came from a real order with us.
  • We only ever edit a review to remove profanity, spam, or personal details - otherwise it's published exactly as written, good or bad. We won’t ever remove or edit critical ones.
  • You don't need to have bought a product from us to review it - if you know the product, we want you to let other shoppers know what you honestly think, using the form on the product page. These are moderated in the same way, but won't carry our Customer verified badge.

Introducing the Percussion Plus Classic Red Box bass diatonic metallophone

Manufactured by Percussion Plus, this strong and incredibly sturdy bass metallophone gives a deep, consistent and resonant sound. Their excellent tuning, stability and robustness makes them ideal for classroom environments, such as school ensembles, music lessons or band clubs.

The note bars are mounted to a highly durable and vibrantly coloured frame, which is designed to allow the sound to carry exceptionally well. Like all the other models in the Percussion Plus Classic Red Box line-up, the bass metallophone has precision cut tone bars for exceptionally accurate tuning.

It includes 2 F# note bars and 1 Bb note bar to allow playing in F major, G major and C major. Comes with beaters.

Create a fully chromatic instrument

Pair the PP021 with the PP022 chromatic half base metallophone to make a fully chromatic metallophone.

Please note: the PP022 is sold separately

Built with quality materials

This versatile, well-designed instrument is made with the highest quality materials, so that it can handle being in a school environment. It’s made from steel and solid Poplar wood, which will last for many years.
