Our Story
The Polygon Group has been providing Australia with rental solutions for more than 35 years. We offer people the chance to follow their passion. To create. To learn. To play. To get inspired and inspire others.
It all started with music. One of our Directors, Daryl, was a professional saxophone player and they realised how many students were held back because their instruments weren’t good quality. So, Mike, Daryl, David and Michael started Music Rentals Australia.
From there it continued to grow. The Polygon Group started out with the goal of making quality instruments available to anyone with the passion to play. But, as the business grew and their own hobbies changed and developed, they realised there were other areas where we could help people follow their passion.
We understand being passionate about something. We know why this is such a driving force in people’s lives. We also understand when you’re excited about learning something your skills can outgrow your gear too quickly. That’s why we’re here. We exist for the players, the creators, the musicians. We help people follow their passion every day.
