Before Using The Pedal Timpani

Your Yamaha pedal timpani is equipped with a plastic head carefully mounted and tuned

(adjusted to a note) at the factory, and thus can be used after setup immediately. However,

new heads will tend to stretch gradually during shipping and storage, resulting in a tuning

deviation when you receive the instrument. Therefore, please perform the steps below to

restore the tuning to the factory setting prior to shipment:

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".

If the collar is not uniform (illustration titled

"Wrong"), keep the heel of the pedal fully de-

pressed as shown in Fig. C, and align head and

hoop as shown in the illustration titled "Correct".

Make sure that the end of the wire tube is not

disengaged from the adjuster of the tuning indi-

cator as shown in Fig. A. If it is disengaged,

insert it into the adjuster as shown in Fig. B.
