TP-6223 Intermediate Series 23" Copper Pedal Timpani with Cover

The Yamaha TP-6223 Intermediate Series 23 Pedal Timpani has freely suspended, smooth copper bowls that provide pure, harmonious resonance. A REMO Renaissance head with aluminum insert ring improves resonance and dynamic range. Recessed ears in rim keeps the tension rod heads well out of the way of sweeping motions during play and cradle the timpani key for solid adjustments. A reinforced third wheel attachment gives secure hold during transport.

Yamaha-exclusive Streamlined Pedal Adjustment Clutch (PAC) system allows player to adjust pedal feel to individual playing style.

A cable-linked tuning gauge comes standard. Letter and accidental indicators provide more visual tuning accuracy. Enclosed housing on the tuning gauge increases durability and maintains smooth movement of the pointer. Teflon tape on bearing edge provides whisper quiet tuning. Heavy-duty 4" locking casters deliver easier mobility. Matte black hardware has a sleek look with reduced glare.
