PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

Please keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from

damages or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Transporting/Setup

• Never place the timpani on unstable surfaces such as an

unstable riser or sloped surface. The timpani may tip over

or fall resulting in damage or injury.

• When rolling the timpani on its casters, grip it by its frame

and move it only on smooth, flat surfaces.

1. Do not move on sloping, rough, or gravel surfaces.

2. Do not run with the timpani. It may be difficult to stop

the instrument which can cause injury or damage.

• If the timpani must be carried, do so with two or more

persons, make sure to grip the timpani by its frame.

• Except for when moving the instrument, always engage

both caster brakes. Not engaging the brakes can result in

the instrument falling over or moving resulting in injury.

Handling caution

• Never lean on or climb on the instrument. It may overturn

resulting in damage or injury.

• Be careful around the instrument. Bumping into it may

result in injury or cause it to overturn. Keep small children

away from the instrument.

• Never place your fingers or feet into the spaces

underneath the pedal, the base portion of the instrument,

or between moving parts such as the casters. Serious

injury can result if fingers or feet become pinched.

Brake

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or

damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Handling caution

• When operating the pedal, do not touch the hoop, head,

tuning indicator, or tuning bolts. Fingers may become

caught or pinched resulting in injury.

PRECAUTIONS / Daily Maintenance

Hoop

Tuning

Indicator

Tuning Bolt

Head

• Replace torn heads as soon as possible. The torn edge of

the head is sharp and can cut hands or fingers.

• Do not put your hands inside any of the parts of the

timpani (inside the tuning indicator, base, frame, etc.)

• Do not use the mallet for anything besides playing the

instrument.

Do not allow children strike others with the mallet as it

can cause injury or become damaged.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument.

Daily Maintenance

• Non-calf heads do not need loosening after playing. Tuning the timpani after playing to its lowest note,

by fully depressing the heel end of the pedal, is sufficient enough. However, if the timpani is not going

to be used for an extended period of time, the head should be loosened slightly to promote longer

head life.

• Always place the cover on the instrument when storing to protect it from dust. Also, use a soft cloth to

clean the head, and use the head protector to protect the head from impacts, etc. Regularly wipe the

entire instrument with a cloth to keep the instrument in good condition.

• The kettle has the most influence on the instrument’s pitch, so never dent or strike it.

• Never hold on to anything other than the frame when moving the instrument. Doing so will cause the

instrument to go out of tune, and also distort the shape of the hoop.

• Instruments shifting and bumping into each while transporting the timpani by truck can cause the head

or hoop position to shift. To reduce the chance of position shifting, press the toe end of the pedal to

increase tension on the head.

Please use Yamaha care products for daily maintenance.

Never place your fingers or feet into the

spaces underneath the pedal, the base

portion of the instrument, or between

moving parts such as the casters. Seri-

ous injury can result if fingers or feet

become pinched.

Setting Up the Timpani

Using the Casters

The instrument is equipped with following three

casters.

Large caster with brake x2

Pedal caster x1

Adjusting the Playing Angle

All three casters offer independent height adjust-

ment letting you adjust the height and angle of the

playing surface.

* This procedure should be carried out with

at least two people.

[Large Casters with Brakes]

1

Turn the lock nut counter-clockwise (left) to

release the lock nut on the top of the caster.

2

Lift the caster up

slightly, and then turn

the caster axle cap

to adjust the height.

Turn counter-clock-

wise (left) to lower

and clockwise (right)

to raise height.

3

Turn the lock nut clock-

wise (right) to lock.

[Pedal Caster]

Using the supplied Allen wrench, turn the pedal

caster height adjustment bolt clockwise (right) to

raise the pedal, increasing its distance from the

floor, or counter-clockwise (left) to lower its height.

Except for when moving

the instrument, always

engage both brakes on

the large casters. Not

engaging the brakes can

result in the instrument

falling over or moving resulting in injury.

If played without the brakes engaged, the instrument

can move about during performance and cause

noise. Adjusting the pedal, tuning, and adjusting

the PAC system can also be very dangerous if done

without the brakes engaged. The instrument unex-

pectedly moving of falling over can lead to injury.

Your Yamaha timpani is equipped with a plastic head carefully mounted and adjusted at the

factory. However, new heads tend to stretch during shipping and storage, so it may be neces-

sary to re-tune the instrument before using. Please perform the following steps to check and,

if necessary, readjust your instrument.

1

The area between the kettle edge and the inner

circle of the counter hoop is called the collar.

Please make sure that the width of this collar is

uniform, as shown in the illustration titled “Cor-

rect”.

20”, 23”, 24”

If collar width is not uniform, fully depress the

heel end of the pedal. While holding the pedal

in this position, realign the head and hoop as

shown in the “Correct” illustration.

Never place your fingers or feet into the

spaces underneath the pedal, the base por-

tion of the instrument, or between moving

parts such as the casters. Serious injury can

result if fingers or feet become pinched.

2

Fully depress the heel end of the pedal. While

holding the pedal in this position, use the sup-

plied tuning wrench to tighten the tuning bolts

one by one ¼ of a turn (90°) in the order shown

in the illustration below.

It is very important that all tuning bolts be

turned the same amount.

Caution

Initial Preparation

Put your foot on the pedal and fully depress it

in either direction (toe and heel).

• Toe and heel feel equal

g

Go to step

• Heel feels lighter than toe (*1)

g

Head is too tight and should be loosened.

Keeping the heel of the pedal depressed,

loosen the first tuning bolt by 1/2 turn and

then re-tighten it by 1/4 of a turn. Perform

this operation for all other tuning bolts in

the order shown in step

Repeat this procedure until proper head

tension is obtained then go to step

• Heel feels heavier than toe

g

Head is not tight enough. Keeping the

heel end of the pedal depressed, tighten

each of the tuning bolts another 1/8 (45°)

turn in the same order as in step

Repeat this procedure until proper head

tension is obtained then go to step

Move the pedal into an intermediate position,

as shown below, and remove your foot from the

pedal. Confirm that the pedal stays in this posi-

tion and does not move.

Tap the head lightly with the mallet.

The standard striking point is shown below.

As the toe of the pedal is pressed down, the

pitch is raised.

For details on precise tuning refer to “Adjusting

the Pitch” on the following page.

• If the pedal remains in the same position

adjustment is complete. Go to step

• If the toe of the pedal moves downward

g

The head is too tight. Loosen the head us-

ing the procedure described in step

4

(*1).

The standard striking

point lies at distance B

from the kettle edge,

which corresponds

approximately to 1/4 to

1/3 of the distance

between the kettle

edge and the center of

the head.

As the head will stretch over time, read-

justment should be performed periodi-

cally (starting with step

When using the timpani for the first time, be sure to set it up according to the instructions of

“Initial Preparation” on pages 18 and 19.

Head Tuning

Tuning is adjusted on the lowest note of the

timpani. For this reason, the heel of the pedal

must stay fully lowered during the tuning proce-

dure. The pitch of the lowest note (and the tonal

range) depends on the size of your timpani.

For example, as shown in the chart below, the

lowest sound of a 29” timpani should be tuned

to F. When tuned properly, your Yamaha timpani

will play throughout its full tonal range with bal-

anced tension in the paddle.

When loosening the tuning bolts, al-

ways loosen them by double the desired

amount, and then return (re-tighten)

them by half. When the sound lies within

1 halftone below the desired pitch after

loosening the tuning bolts (repeatedly, if

necessary), proceed with step

Lightly strike the head with the mallet about

2 inches (5 cm) from the kettle edge at each

tuning bolt. Check which tuning bolt has the

highest sound.

• Pitch of the highest sound is higher than

the tuning note (*2)

g

Loosen the corresponding tuning bolt by

about 1/16 to 1/18 of a turn. First loosen

the bolt by double the desired amount,

and then return (re-tighten) it by half. After

loosening the tuning bolt, repeat from the

beginning of step

• Pitch of the highest sound is lower than

the tuning note

g

Go to step

Tighten the other bolts little by little (by about

1/16 to 1/8 of a turn) until the sounds at the

corresponding striking points match the pitch of

the highest sound. Please note that tightening

one bolt also raises the pitch at neighboring

and opposite tuning bolts. Thus, after tighten-

ing the tuning bolt with the lowest sound, again

check the pitch at the other tuning bolts before

tightening the tuning bolt with the next lowest

pitch. While alternately tightening the other

bolts, do not touch the tuning bolt with the high-

est pitch (reference pitch).

The standard striking

point lies at distance B

from the kettle edge,

which corresponds

approximately to 1/4 to

1/3 of the distance

between the kettle

edge and the center of

the head.

Standard Tonal Ranges for Yamaha Timpani

on page 18.

Loosen all over-tightened bolts according to

the procedure described in step

(*2). When

the pitch is approximately the same at each

bolt, repeatedly depress the toe and heel of the

pedal several times.

Repeat steps

through

until the pitch at

each bolt is exactly the same.

Check the sound by striking the head as de-

scribed in step

• Sound is lower than the tuning note

g

Tune the instrument by tightening all tun-

ing bolts by an equal amount (max. 1/16

of a turn).

• Sound is higher than the tuning note

g

Tune the instrument by loosening all

tuning bolts by an equal amount (max.

1/16 of a turn) according to the procedure

described in step

(*2).

Operate the pedal as described in step

. If the

pitch does not change, the instrument is tuned

properly.

(If the pitch changes, repeat from step

The instrument is now tuned to the lowest note

of its tonal range. Depress the toe of the pedal

to change to a higher note.

After tuning, perform “Pedal Adjustment” and

then “Tuning Indicator Adjustment”.

Adjusting the Pitch

Note

Do not loosen the spring tension adjust-

ment bolt by more than 3 rotations at

a time, as the toe of the pedal tends to

drop abruptly after a specific point.

Never place your fingers or feet into the

spaces underneath the pedal, the base por-

tion of the instrument, or between moving

parts such as the casters. Serious injury can

result if fingers or feet become pinched.

Pedal Balance Adjustment

After depressing the toe and heel of the pedal, turn the

spring tension adjustment bolt as described below.

• Heel moves up when releasing the foot from

the pedal after depressing the heel, or the

heel feels heavier than the toe.

g

Turn the spring tension adjustment bolt to the

left (counterclockwise).

• Toe moves up when releasing the foot from

the pedal after depressing the toe, or the toe

feels heavier than the heel.

g

Turn the spring tension adjustment bolt to the

right (clockwise).

Use the supplied tuning key to turn the spring

tension adjustment bolt. Do not turn too many

full rotations at once, and re-check the adjust-

ment every 2 turns by pressing the toe and heel

of the pedal.

Pedal Torque Adjustment with PAC

(TP8300/7300 series only)

The pedal mechanism of this instrument is equipped

with the PAC (Pedal Adjustment Clutch) system. This

Yamaha original mechanism lets you adjust pedal

torque (pedal weight) while maintaining pedal balance.

[PAC Adjustment]

Turn the lock nut located below the PAC adjust-

ment knob counter-clockwise (left) to release

the lock.

To give the pedal a heavier feel turn the PAC

adjustment knob clockwise. To return a heavy

setting to a lighter feel, turn the PAC adjust-

ment knob counter-clockwise.

* Please make adjustments with one hand.

Never attempt turning the adjuster with

both hands or with tools (doing so will

damage the PAC system).

After completing adjustment, engage the lock

by turning the lock nut clockwise.

PAC Handling Precautions

Even with the PAC system adjusted to its

heaviest setting, the pedal is not “locked”

in place so do not use a heavy setting

to prevent the pedal from jumping when

removing the head.

There is a limit to how far the PAC adjust-

ment knob can be turned clockwise. Do not

force the knob if it becomes difficult to turn.

Doing so may damage the mechanism.

Make sure the timpani is properly tuned before making adjustment to the spring or PAC.

The tuning indicator shows where to set the pedal for each note. After tuning the instrument,

you must set each note on the indicator to its proper position.

1

After you have tuned your timpani to the low-

est note of its tonal range, make sure that

the pointer is located within 2~3 mm from the

pedal-side end of the indicator rail.

If not, refer to “Adjusting the Pointer Position”.

2

Slide the lowest note of the indicator (“C” in the

case of a 23” timpani*) to the position where its

center line coincides with the pointer.

* “Standard Tonal Ranges for Yamaha Tim-

pani” on page 20.

3

Tune the instrument to the next higher pitch (note)

by moving the pedal, and then slide the corre-

sponding note on the rail to the respective pointer

position. Repeat for each remaining note.

Adjusting the Pointer Position

First loosen the pointer lock nut and then turn the

adjuster as follows:

• Pointer is located beyond the lower rail end

when the heel of the pedal is lowered fully

(lowest note).

g

Turn the adjuster to the left (counter clock-

wise) until the pointer is aligned with the low-

est note of the indicator.

•

Pointer moves beyond the upper rail end before the

toe of the pedal reaches the end of its stroke,

or Pointer does not reach the lower rail end when

the heel of the pedal is lowered fully (lowest sound)

g

Turn the adjuster to the right (clockwise) to

correct the pointer position as required.

To prevent the pedal from suddenly dropping

due to spring tension, hold the heel end of the

pedal all the way down and place a block of

wood between the pedal and the base.

Loosen the tuning bolts on opposite sides of

the timpani and remove the head. We recom-

mend that you mark the pedal side of the hoop

with a piece of tape, etc. so that the hoop can

be reattached to the same position.

* Avoid touching the tuning bolt threads,

as they are greased.

Never touch the pedal assembly when

loosening the tuning bolts (when loosen-

ing the head). Also, never place your fin-

gers or feet in the space under the pedal,

around the base, or the moving parts.

Spring tension may cause the pedal to

suddenly move posing a great danger.

Remove the hoop and head together.

* Do not let the hoop come in contact with

the kettle edge, etc.

Hoop

Tape

4

Edge tape is applied to the kettle edge. The

tape provides a smooth edge, which is very

important to the operation of the timpani. To

prevent damage to the tape, please remove

any dust or dirt.

* If the tape is peeling or badly damaged,

it must be replaced with “Timpani Edge

Tape”.

5

Place the new head with the hoop on the kettle.

When using a Yamaha timpani head, make

sure its YAMAHA logo is on the side opposite

the pedal.

The hoop must be re-mounted in the same

position as marked with a piece of tape in step

. In the proper order, tighten the tuning bolts

alternately by hand until the head is tensioned

slightly. At this time, make sure that the head

and hoop are centered on the kettle.

Tighten each tuning bolt an additional 1/4 of

a turn using the timpani key. Repeat at least 4

times.

Adjust the timpani as described on page 18

“Initial Preparation” starting with step

. For

precise tuning, refer to the section “Adjusting

the Pitch” on page 20.

Interval for head replacement

When the head is slightly tensioned and

its surface looks wavy or shows dents, it is

time to replace the head with a new one.

The maximum head life normally is ap-

proximately 2 years and depends on the

frequency and duration of use. However,

the head should always be replaced before

the sound quality deteriorates dramatically.

If a head is left on and used more than two

years, the following problems may occur:

• It may become impossible to tune the

head to the proper pitch range.

• It may become impossible to balance

the pedal.

• The main unit mechanisms themselves

may become damaged.

We recommend replacing the head every year.
