Timpani<br />
Timpani<br />
Range and sizes…..<br />
Majestic Grand-Classic timpani all<br />
have a range of more than 1<br />
octave and come in the following<br />
sizes: 20", 23", 26”, 29” and 32”.<br />
All of them may be ordered in<br />
either American or German set up.<br />
Tuning gauges will be placed<br />
accordingly.<br />
Transport wheels…..<br />
The classic German timpani lacked<br />
transport wheels. Lifting and<br />
moving these instruments means<br />
considerable physical strain, which is<br />
no longer prudent today.<br />
The Majestic Grand-Classic<br />
comes equipped with fully<br />
collapsible wheels (single-lever<br />
system) that fit inconspicuously<br />
underneath the timpani. While the<br />
instrument is being played, the<br />
metal frame remains in<br />
continuous contact with the stage,<br />
ensuring that the stage acts as a<br />
sort of soundboard.<br />
Finish…..<br />
The gleaming metal parts have<br />
been traditionally nickel-plated (not<br />
chrome-plated). If desired, the<br />
tuning tension ring can also be<br />
nickel-plated at no extra charge.<br />
Grand-Classics are typically used<br />
with super Kalfo timpani heads<br />
from Ireland, tucked in German<br />
style on steel flesh hoops. This<br />
option is available for an extra<br />
charge. Timpani come standard<br />
with Remo Renaissance heads.<br />
Finally, the entire timpani is<br />
completely hand-assembled with<br />
great accuracy and precision by a<br />
traditional craftsman.<br />
