Adjusting the Pitch

Before playing the pedal timpani for the first time after purchase, make sure you properly
adjust the head following the procedure in the "Initial Preparation" section on pages 18-19.
n Head Tuning
1
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 low-
est 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 pedal.

When loosening the tension rods, always
loosen them by twice the desired amount,
and then return (re-tighten) them by half.
When the sound lies within 1 semitone
below the desired pitch after loosening
the tension rods (repeatedly, if neces-
sary), proceed with step
