After seven years of building PICARDE together with the musicians who shaped our craft, we are entering a new chapter.
The PICARDE webshop is now officially closed as we transition fully to a B2B distribution model. Our products will continue to be visible on the website, but availability will now run exclusively through our partner stores and distributors worldwide.
To all musicians who have supported PICARDE from the very beginning — thank you.
Your trust, your feedback, and your enthusiasm for our mallets guided every step of this journey. From our early days in Berlin to our years in the Netherlands, your support helped us refine our craft and complete the Artist Series that defined our brand. PICARDE grew because you believed in what we were creating.
As we move forward, nothing about our craftsmanship or philosophy changes — only the way our products reach you.
For questions, assistance, or dealer inquiries, you can always contact us at shop@picarde.com or through our social media channels.
Thank you for being part of our story, and for carrying PICARDE with you on stages, in pits, and in rehearsal rooms around the world.
A new chapter begins, built on the same dedication to sound that has been with us from the start. #playpicarde
Vision
Picarde is a creative place where people can find and discover virtually anything that might help them be the best artist they can be.
We create a world for people who play to enrich life, not just to make a living.
Picarde Timpani Products produces series of timpani mallets that contain felt, flannel and wooden heads.
Every pair of sticks is made with the finest Chinese bamboo and German felt. Next to our series made closely with some of Europe’s top timpani players we create equipment that make the performance of a timpani player more comfortable and secure.
Professional timpani players, students as well as amateur musicians around the world enjoy our high-quality products. The reason for our success is not very difficult to comprehend. Experience, skill and precision are essential for our company, just as the choice of materials we use. All our products start with an idea, a vision. Every pair of sticks built by our company is inspired first by a sound or character.
