You want to hire rent well-maintained mallet instruments such as marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, orchestra bells? Then you have come to the right place in Berlin / Germany. We offer a large rental selection of marimba / marimbaphone, vibraphone, glockenspiel, xylophone and many other mallet instruments for rent.

We rent mallet instruments from the manufacturers ADAMS, BERGERAULT, DEAGAN, MARIMBA ONE, MUSSER, STUDIO 49, WERNICK, YAMAHA.

Our mallet instruments are packed in professional and custom-made Preissler flight cases. They can be used – like all our rental instruments – not only for concerts or events in Berlin and the surrounding countryside but as well as for entire concert tours / orchestra travels by truck transport or Air Cargo in Germany and Europe. Our large 5-octave marimbas are disassembled due to their very high weight.

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.
