Frederick Hyde New Distributor of Boomwhackers®
11th February 2026
Frederick Hyde Music Distribution is excited to become the exclusive distributor of Boomwhackers® in the United Kingdom and Ireland, starting February 2026. This partnership will bring the world’s leading tuned percussion tubes to even more music educators, schools, and community groups across the UK and Ireland.
Boomwhackers® are the original, world-leading tuned percussion tubes loved by music teachers, schools, and community music groups worldwide. Known for their durability and innovative ChromaNotes® colour-coding system, in which each musical pitch corresponds to a specific colour, they are easy to play by striking any surface. Their lightweight, robust design ensures reliable performance and makes them an ideal choice for music education, creative workshops, and group activities. Boomwhackers® offer a fun, accessible introduction to music-making for children and adults alike.
As part of the new partnership, Frederick Hyde will be working closely with Boomwhackers to introduce updated sustainable packaging tailored for UK customers.
Brad Kirkpatrick, President of Rhythm Band Instruments, owner of Boomwhackers, welcomes this development:
‘Boomwhackers have truly transformed educational music-making over the last three decades, and I can’t think of a more suitable partner for the distribution of Boomwhackers and ChromaNotes products in the UK and Eire than Frederick Hyde Limited. With their strong reputation for integrity and vision in the music education market, we anticipate continued growth and increased visibility for Boomwhackers® in the years ahead.’
