Yamaha 29 Prof. Timp Camber/Hamm Copper: each
Yamaha 29 Prof. Timp Camber/Hamm Copper: each
The hammered bowls in this series feature a squarer “cambered” profile than conventional bowl designs. The most obvious benefits are ample volume, ideal timpani decay, and significantly improved mallet response. The most desirable qualities of copper are emphasized, with carefully thought out and proven refinements to bowl size, bearing edge shape (the edge that contacts the timpani head), the diameter of the aperture in the bottom of the bowl, and more. The overall result is rich, deep tone with superior playability.
FEATURES
Pedal spring and head tension are balanced so the set pitch is maintained even if the player removes their foot from the pedal. Pitch changes across the entire range are smooth and easy. A wide pitch range of approximately a minor sixth per inch has been achieved.
The height of all casters can be adjusted over a 25mm range, allowing precise adjustments to the instrument height as well as head angle. The instruments can be ideally positioned for standing or seated playing, on any stage. Adjustment is carried out using the supplied tuning key or an appropriate allen wrench, and can be easily accomplished by one person.
The main casters include a one-touch lock mechanism that contributes to fast, sure setup. In addition to the main caster lock mechanism an auxiliary brake has been added to the pedal caster. The player can engage the auxiliary brake to securely lock the caster and prevent movement of the instrument.
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. This frame design brings out the full musical potential of the bowl.
Yamaha Remo Renaissance Heads with aluminum insert rings offer outstanding expression with stable pitch.
