Yamaha Intermediate 26" Timpani TP6326R

Pedal Balance Spring System Timpani with Copper Bowl

Bowl Design

To bring out the very best qualities of the copper material used, bowl size, bearing edge shape (the edge that contacts the timpani head), the diameter of the aperture in the bottom of the bowl, and other details have been meticulously examined and refined to deliver the deepest, richest tone in combination with outstanding playability.

Pedal Balance Spring System

Pedal spring and head tension are balanced sot he set pitch is maintained even if the player removes his or her foot from the pedal. Pitch changes across the entire range are smoot and easy. A wide pitch range of approximately a minor sixth per inch has been achieved.

Frame/ Floating Mount

The timpani frame does more than just support the bowl. It plays a significant role in sound quality as well. In addition to offering outstanding strength and operability, the frames are designed to a weight that contributes to optimum acoustic response. The bowl is seated in a "Floating Mount" suspension ring and does not contact any other part of the instrument. This prevents distortion of the bowl and allows unrestricted head oscillation for superior tone, resonance, and pitch clarity. 

Height Adjustment

The height of all casters can be adjusted over 25mm range, allowing precise adjustments to the instrument height as well as head angle. The instrument can be ideally positioned for standing or seated playing, on any stage.
