From delicate pianissimo to thunderous fortissimo, Yamaha Symphonic series timpani offer precise musicial control. Heavy, high-grade copper bowls are spun with precision to ensure uniform wall thickness for pure resonance and a beautiful tone. To further enhance dynamic range and tonal priojection, the bowls are freely suspended in a thin, rigid support ring. This design allows pure, undistorted sound - even at dynamic extremities - with an efficient transfer of acoustical energy.
