Adjusting Pedal Height

Loosen the stopper and use the height adjustment

screw to adjust pedal height. After determining the

height, tighten the stopper to secure.

Relocating the Tuning Indicator

The timpani is shipped with a universal style tuning indicator already attached (performer’s left side) however,

the tuning indicator can be relocated for German style tuning (performer’s right side).

Using the supplied hex wrench, remove the two bolts holding the tuning indicator in place as shown in the

diagram below, then slide the bolts through the holes on the tuning indicator from the opposite side. In either

position, make sure that the note indicator bridge is easily viewable.

Caution

Make sure your fingers do not get pinched be-
tween the pedal and kettle when folding the
pedal or pedal base.
Serious injury can result if fingers or feet be-
come pinched.

Transporting

When moving the timpani over a distance, such as from

room to room, make sure that the instrument is carried

by at least two persons.

The casters on the sliding legs are convenient when

moving the timpani short distances over smooth surfaces

such as when changing stage setups, etc. To move the

timpani, unlock the casters, then slightly lift the timpani

by the lugs so that the pedal frame is off of the ground

and slowly move the timpani forward or backward as

shown in the illustration below.

Be careful not to damage the legs while moving the

timpani.

* Damage may occur if the timpani is dropped or

falls from a high place.
