Below is a collection of commonly asked questions. If you have any further queries, please contact us via one of the various methods found here and we would be happy to chat all things Tiny Tones! 😀🎶

Product Questions:

What should I buy for my child's particular age?

We have so many options and it can often be hard to choose. We love chatting to our customers! We can certainly assist in helping you select a great age appropriate instrument for your little one. Please feel free to engage with us on our chat feature in the bottom right of the screen. We man this ourselves as often as we can (we are actually kind of addicted 😆), or email us at hello@tinytones.com.au and we will be happy to discuss your needs specifically. 

What is the difference between the Pat Bell Shelf and the Pat Bells 8 set? 

There are quite a few differences including the packaging and the colour coded music that they come with. However the main differences are in the construction, and the range of notes.  

The shelf is 5 notes set into a wooden shelf so the bells can't be moved and is easy for a child to sit at and play. However the 8 bells can still be played easily by a young child whilst under supervision as they are single bells that can more be easily moved about. Both items are extremely well made and sturdy to withstand the test of any toddlers heavy handed (or footed 😆) playing. If you are looking for a beautiful instrument set to grow with, we would recommend the 8 set with the larger range of notes. 

Where are your products made? 

Our products are sourced from sustainable instrument and toy makers from around the world. They have all been specifically selected for their quality by us, and come from countries including Italy, Taiwan, Vietnam, Germany and India. You can find specific information on each product page, but if you would like any further clarification on materials or country of manufacture, please reach out at hello@tinytones.com.au. 

Are you an Australian Company?

We certainly are! We are two Aussie mums with a passion for musical play and child development. Find out all about us and how Tiny Tones came to be here.

When will my order be dispatched?

Our warehouse operates on Monday - Friday during standard business hours, except on national holidays at which time the warehouse will be closed.
