Old traditions revived…..<br />
Over the last 20 years many large and small timpani-building companies have attempted to copy the models of<br />
well-know German timpani builders from the early twentieth century. Unfortunately they have not looked critically at the<br />
old construction techniques, some of which have serious drawbacks. Majestic, in co-operation with many famous<br />
timpanists, has succeeded in building a timpani that revives the old traditions while using state-of-the-art techniques to<br />
eliminate any of these drawbacks.<br />
Kettle…..<br />
The kettle is seamlessly deep-drawn from a single copper sheet using a computer-controlled deep-drawing press. This<br />
process guarantees optimum, consistent quality. The thickness and strength of each point on the kettle wall are exactly<br />
what they should be. After this deep-drawing process, the final tone of the timpani can be further refined by means of<br />
hammering.<br />
