Marimba, vibraphone, glockenspiel, xylophone – mallet instrument rental Germany

Would you like to rent well-maintained mallet instruments, such as a marimba or vibraphone, for a concert? Do you need a xylophone or glockenspiel for an event? Then our instrument rental company in Berlin / Germany is the perfect place for you.

We rent out marimbas, vibraphones, glockenspiels, xylophones – basically, all kinds of mallet instruments. To meet even the highest standards of sound quality, we have carefully selected each of our instruments to ensure perfect intonation and a consistently clean tuning.

We rent out mallet instruments from top manufacturers, such as ADAMS, BERGERAULT, DEAGAN, MARIMBA ONE, MUSSER, STUDIO 49, WERNICK, YAMAHA.

Our mallet instruments are always clean and in top condition. Like all of our rental instruments, they can be rented not only for concerts and events in Berlin and the surrounding area in Brandenburg. These instruments are packed in our professional, custom-made Preissler flight cases and can therefore be used safely and immediately ready to play for classical orchestra travels / concert tours via truck transport or air cargo within Germany and Europe. Whether in Hamburg, Leipzig, Cologne, or in Paris, Barcelona, or Prague.

Due to their very heavy weight and large size, our 5-octave C marimbas are disassembled for transport.

A very important note if you rent a xylosynth or vibraphone

Unlike some other suppliers, our electrically powered vibraphones and xylosynths always have a current  DGUV (German Social Accident Insurance) inspection sticker and the corresponding inspection report. They are inspected annually by an authorized company. This means, our vibraphones and xylosynths are permitted for use on any stage in Germany.

Very important: If the legally required DGUV inspection for these instruments cannot be verified, their use on stage is strictly prohibited and even punishable by law. For your own safety and the safety of the audience: Please ensure that every rented instrument has a valid inspection sticker before placing it on stage.
