Prophonic Series
Finally a transportable timpani with professional sound qualities
Until now timpani players had to choose between either collapsible timpani without a professional sound or professional
sounding timpani without the possibility of easy transport. All of the folding timpani on the market had their complete
tension mechanisms inside the kettles. The newly invented and patented Prophonic timpani have finally solved the
challenge of a fully suspended and free sounding timpani kettle.
The Prophonic combines the superior sound quality of the Symphonic (Grand) series with the easy transportability of
the Harmonic series. In fact, the legs around the kettle protect the copper from damage and denting. The deep
cambered copper kettle is made out of a single copper sheet, from bottom to rim. The kettle is fully suspended
because there is no tuning mechanism inside, no steel rims on top and no tension blocks mounted. The result is the
best possible sound characteristics.
Majestic Prophonic timpani are easy to travel with – 4 pieces can be moved in larger vehicle and 2 pieces will fit inside
the smallest car. They are also much easier to store because they need far less space than traditional timpani.
