Majestic Grand Classic hammered copper timpani with ratchet pedal - 32"

Introducing the Majestic Grand Classic Hammered Copper Deep Cambered Timpani, the epitome of timpani performance. Crafted to deliver unparalleled sound, projection, and enduring quality, these timpani are ideal for demanding professional orchestras and recording percussionists. The Grand Classic series offers a choice between a clutch pedal or ratchet pedal, tailored to your preference. (Note: German setup available upon request.)

Crafted with precision, the hammered copper kettle is a time-tested and popular choice, not just for its aesthetics but also for its rich overtone series. These kettles, hammered using an advanced computerized process, harden the copper to enhance the sound quality. Fully suspended to maximize resonance, they offer warm tones with generous projection.

Designed with a ratchet pedal system, this mechanism utilizes ratchet-style teeth to lock the pedal in place. The tension, felt through pedal pressure, allows the timpanist to 'feel' the tuning of the drum while offering fine-tuning options. For 'infinite' fine-tuning possibilities, the clutch pedal system is recommended for Grand Classic timpani.

Convenient tuning is guaranteed with the well-known Majestic tuning gauges and fine hand tuners, granting professional players greater control. Available in sizes ranging from 20" to 32", each timpani offers a one-octave tuneable range. These timpani are shipped with an international setup but can be provided in a German setup upon request.

Equipped with REMO® Renaissance timpani heads, these timpani ensure long-lasting quality with exceptional response and tone. Majestic instruments are meticulously crafted for professionals, educators, and percussion students, combining heritage and innovation. Product development and production adhere to the highest standards of craftsmanship and performance.

(Note: Large tuned percussion instruments require assembly upon delivery.)
