NEW YAMAHA BELLS AND TIMPANI
ANAHEIM, CA—Yamaha Corporation of America, Band &
Orchestral Division, will introduce the YG-2500 Bells and TP-9000
Series Timpani at Winter NAMM 2003.
Designed with the sound and features desired by professional
orchestras, the YG-2500 bells’ professional features include
an extended range (C52-E92), pedal dampening system with full-width
pedal and height adjustment by pneumatic struts. Based on Deagan
bar specifications and tuning, the bells represent the ultimate
in sound quality. A dark stained wood frame adds a touch of
class, and locking casters on the playing side ensure stability
during play.
An intensive three-year design project with professional players
from around the world resulted in the TP-9000 series timpani,
which features heavy-duty frames, a fine tuner and a locking
pedal mechanism. Both Dresden and Berlin type pedal systems
are available with an American or German style set-up. All models
feature the clear, resonant sound of the Yamaha hand-hammered
bowl, as well as an extended tuning gauge, quiet mechanisms,
and heavy-duty rim.
"With input from professional players, Yamaha has designed
these instruments for percussionists, orchestras, and universities
of the highest caliber," states Steve Anzivino, Concert
Percussion product manager, Yamaha Corporation of America, Band
& Orchestral Division. "As a result, exceptional sound
quality, quiet mechanisms and innovative designs are benchmarks
of the series."
Both the bells and timpani are available via special order.
