Yamaha Unveils TP-3100 Series Timpani
BUENA PARK, Calif. Yamaha Corporation of America, Band & Orchestral Division, will showcase its TP-3100 Series Timpani at Winter NAMM 2007. This new series is a replacement for the popular 3000 series of portable timpani.
Offering improved sound and increased transportation ability, the TP-3100 set is the first of its kind to use aluminum bowls. It features custom Remo Renaissance heads and multiple preset pedal angles, as well as a movable tuning gauge for American or German set up. Made of black hardware, the drums have a sleek look and collapsible design, making them perfect for gigging timpanists and professional players. Soft bags for transportation and protection are also available.
Ideal for percussion instructors, band directors and students, the TP-3100 series is a great set for practicing at home or in rooms where space is limited and moving the timpani often is a requirement.
"By using aluminum, a renewable resource, in the bowls, the need for fiberglass is eliminated," said Troy Wollwage, Percussion Marketing Manager. "This series is just one of the many ways Yamaha is committed to both protecting the environment and producing instruments with consistent and quality sound."
Available in the Spring of 2007, the TP-3100 series will retail in the same price range as the current 3000 series.
