DÖRFLER Orchestra Pedal Timpani Berlin Model - Set of 5 pieces

DÖRFLER Orchestra Pedal Timpani Berlin Model - Set of 5 pieces: 20", 24", 26", 29", 32", ivory, with transport flight cases

Copper Kettle

The heart of the timpani is the copper kettle. Each one is unique, hammered entirely by hand from the cut to the finished kettle. The low and even thickness of the material over the entire surface of the kettle, which differs depending on the size of the kettle, and ensures a particularly easy resonance and the typical Berlin sound, which is unmatched in every register.

Improved Kettle-Frame Connection

Only DÖRFLER timpani have the edge of the kettle hammered directly onto the kettle ring. This results in an unrivalled transmission of vibrations to the aluminium frame. On the one hand, the sound behaviour of the kettle is enhanced, while on the other hand, the resonances are passed on to the podium floor, which is thus used as an additional resonance factor.

Mechanics

The proven mechanics are built with the greatest precision using modern manufacturing methods and, after high-gloss chrome plating, are assembled by hand with the utmost accuracy of fit. The result optimally supports your sense of sound. Rattling fine tuner grips, stiff pedals and irregularly shaped letters are a thing of the past.
