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 Timpani are offered in five bowl diameters, 20”-23”-26”-29”-32”.

Whether you're performing in a symphony hall or a high school auditorium, the outstanding sound and unmatched precision of the Symphonic Series will meet and exceed any of your performance demands.

This forming method also ensures an even thickness throughout the entire kettle, resulting in the ultimate in both tonal quality and projection. The bowls are suspended by a strong, firm, contoured steel ring to maintain bowl roundness and offer the best protection during transport.
