Symphonic Generation II
Adams Symphonic timpani has proved its merits in the world of orchestras, conservatorium, bands and schools. Improving upon the existing Symphonic model, the Symphonic 2 timpani suits the stringent requirements on sound and durability nowadays. The Symphonic 2 bowl is suspended from a new chrome plated steel ring, and is supported by extra strong struts. These changes help maximize the pitch focus, and sustain from any of the four bowl types. New double-wheel locking casters and wider stance base legs, provide more stability and manoeuvrability than previously available. The solid construction prevents any problems during transport. The kettle is made from a single sheet of red copper pressed by deep drawn methods. This has the great advantage of maintaining the same thickness throughout the kettle which is extremely important for a good sound.
Symphonic 2 timpani are offered in five bowl diameters, 20”-23”-26”-29”-32” and come with tuning gauges, covers, mutes, tuning keys, and Remo Renaissance heads.
