History
The principle of the rotary kettledrum for orchestral use, known since 1821, has been combined in the rotary timpani with a tried-and tested system of central tuning. The technical advantage of the timpani lies in the unimpeded transfer of vibration from the head to the shell. It is important that there should be no contact between the rods holding the tension screw and the shell itself.
Construction
The rotary timpani have a central, very precise rotary tuning mechanism, which enables fast and simple tuning by turning the timpani shell.
