Precautions

Always use the timpani in a safe manner.

In order to prevent damage or injury, we urge you to carefully read and follow the instructions

listed below.

In the case of use by young children, we recommend proper guidance be given by a knowledge-

able adult.

Disregarding these warnings or misuse may result in death or personal injury.

Warnings

•Never place the timpani on unstable surfaces such

as an unstable riser or sloped surface. The timpani

may tip over or fall resulting in damage or injury.

•Never lean on or climb on the instrument. It may over-

turn resulting in damage or injury.

• Be careful around the instrument. Bumping into it may

result in injury or cause it to overturn. Keep small

children away from the instrument.

•Never place your fingers or foot into the moving parts

or the space under the pedal or base. Serious injury

can result if fingers or feet become pinched.

• When rolling the timpani on its casters, grip it by its

frame and move it only on smooth, flat surfaces.

1. Do not move on sloping, rough, or gravel surfaces.

2. Do not run with the timpani. It may be difficult to stop

the instrument which can cause injury or damage.

• If the timpani must be carried, do so with two or more

persons, make sure to grip the timpani by its lugs.

Caution

• Replace torn heads as soon as possible. The torn

edge of the head is sharp and can cut hands or fin-

gers.

• When operating the pedal, do not touch the hoop,

head, or tuning indicator. Fingers may become caught

or pinched resulting in injury.

• Do not put your hands inside any of the parts of the

timpani (inside the tuning indicator, base, lugs, etc.)

• Do not use the mallet for anything besides playing

the instrument.

Do not allow children strike others with the mallet as

it can cause injury or become damaged.

■ Setting up the Timpani

The TP-3100(EA) series features a folding design to

reduce the space required to store or transport the tim-

pani. Use the procedure described below when setting

up or storing the timpani.

3 Lower the pedal section until the large metal

washer shown in Fig. B aligns with the guide hole

shown in Fig. C and then tighten the lock bolt.

Tighten until the large metal washer shown in Fig.

B fits completely into the guide hole.

Transporting and Setting Up the Timpani

2 Gently lower the pedal section.

4 Lay the timpani on its side, grasp the leg lock bolt

handle and loosen the leg lock bolt.

5 Slowly extend the sliding leg then tighten the leg

lock bolt at the chosen length. Make sure that the

marks on the sliding leg are aligned with the slit

in the leg holder. The casters may not function

properly if the marks are misaligned. Make sure

the marks are properly aligned.

1 First make sure that the

casters are locked (Fig. A).

Then with the timpani posi-

tioned as shown in the illus-

tration below, use both

hands to loosen the left and

right side lock bolts. Loosen

the bolts until the large

metal washer comes out of

the guide hole. (Fig. B)

other leg. Make sure that the marks on the slid-

ing leg are aligned with the slit in the leg holder.

7 Return the timpani to an upright position, and then

adjust the length of the left and right legs.

8 When it comes time to store or pack up the tim-

pani, simply reverse the setup procedure order.

Height Adjustment Screw

■ Adjusting Pedal Height

Loosen the stopper and use the height adjustment

screw to adjust pedal height. After determining the

height, tighten the stopper to secure.

■ Relocating the Tuning Indicator

The timpani is shipped with a universal style tuning indicator already attached (performer’s left side) however,

the tuning indicator can be relocated for German style tuning (performer’s right side).

Using the supplied hex wrench, remove the two bolts holding the tuning indicator in place as shown in the

diagram below, then slide the bolts through the holes on the tuning indicator from the opposite side. In either

position, make sure that the note indicator bridge is easily viewable.

Caution

Make sure your fingers do not get pinched be-

tween the pedal and kettle when folding the

pedal or pedal base.

Serious injury can result if fingers or feet be-

come pinched.

■ Transporting

When moving the timpani over a distance, such as from

room to room, make sure that the instrument is carried

by at least two persons.

The casters on the sliding legs are convenient when

moving the timpani short distances over smooth surfaces

such as when changing stage setups, etc. To move the

timpani, unlock the casters, then slightly lift the timpani

by the lugs so that the pedal frame is off of the ground

and slowly move the timpani forward or backward as

shown in the illustration below.

Be careful not to damage the legs while moving the

timpani.

* Damage may occur if the timpani is dropped or

falls from a high place.

tp3100ea_en_om.6pm 08.2.5, 9:28 AM5

Your Yamaha timpani is equipped with a plastic head carefully mounted and adjusted at the factory.

However, new heads tend to stretch during shipping and storage, so it may be necessary to re-tune the

instrument before using. Please perform the following steps to check and, if necessary, readjust your

instrument.

3 If the heel of the pedal is fully lowered as in Fig.

C, proceed with step 5.

If the pedal position is as shown in Fig. D or the

toe of the pedal is fully lowered, perform step

first.

Initial Preparation

1 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”.

tp3100ea_en_om.6pm 08.2.5, 9:28 AM6

Initial Preparation

Note As the head will stretch over time, readjustment should be performed periodically

(starting with step

7 ).

5 Using the supplied timpani key, tighten the tun-

ing bolts by 1/4 of a turn (90°) in the order shown

below.

It is very important to always turn all tuning

bolts by the same amount.

9 Tighten each tuning bolt by 1/8 of a turn (45°) in

the order shown in step

10 • Toe and heel feel equal

→ Go to step

11.

• Heel still feels heavier than toe

→ Repeat steps

8 through 10.

• Heel feels lighter than toe

→ Head is tightened too much. Loosen the

head as described in step

7 (*1).

11 Move the pedal into an intermediate position, as

shown in Fig. D , and remover your foot from the

pedal. Confirm that the pedal stays in this posi-

tion and does not move.

If the pedal stops in this position, adjustment

is complete. Return the pedal to the position

shown in Fig. C.

• If the toe of the pedal moves downward

→ Repeat steps

8 through 10.

• If the heel of the pedal moves downward

→ Head is tightened too much. Loosen the

head as described in step

12 Strike the head lightly with the supplied mallet.

The standard striking point is shown below.

6 Ta ke your foot off the pedal.

• Heel still moves up

→ Repeat steps

4 through 6.

• Heel stays down

→ Go to step 7.

7 Put your foot on the pedal and fully depress it in

either direction (toe and heel).

• Heel feels heavier than toe

→ Go to step

• Toe and heel feel equal

→ Go to step

11.

• Heel feels lighter than toe (*1)

→ Head is too tight and should be loosened.

Keeping the heel of the pedal depressed,

loosen the first tuning bolt by 1/2 turn and

then re-tighten it by 1/4 of a turn. Perform

this operation for all other tuning bolts in

the order shown in step

5. If necessary,

repeat this procedure, until proper tension

is obtained.

8 Fully depress the heel of the pedal as shown in

Fig. C.

The standard striking

point lies at distance B

from the kettle edge,

which corresponds

approximately to 1/4 to

1/3 of the distance

between the kettle

edge and the center of

the head.

Striking point

For pitch reference, a tuner or piano can be used.

As the toe of the pedal is pressed down, the pitch

is raised.

For details on precise tuning refer to “Adjusting

the Pitch” on the following page.

tp3100ea_en_om.6pm 08.2.5, 9:28 AM7

When using the timpani for the first time, be sure to set it up according to the

instructions of “Initial Preparation” on pages 6 and 7.

When loosening the tuning bolts, always loosen

them by double the desired amount, and then

return (re-tighten) them by half. When the sound

lies within 1 halftone below the desired pitch af-

ter loosening the tuning bolts (repeatedly, if nec-

essary), proceed with step

3 Lightly strike the head with the mallet about 2

inches (5 cm) from the kettle edge at each tuning

bolt. Check which tuning bolt has the highest

sound.

• Pitch of the highest sound is higher than the

tuning note (*2)

→ Loosen the corresponding tuning bolt by

about 1/16 to 1/18 of a turn. First loosen

the bolt by double the desired amount, and

then return (re-tighten) it by half. After loos-

ening the tuning bolt, repeat from the be-

ginning of step

• Pitch of the highest sound is lower than the

tuning note

→ Go to step

4 Tighten the other bolts little by little (by about 1/

16 to 1/8 of a turn) until the sounds at the corre-

sponding striking points match the pitch of the

highest sound. Please note that tightening one

bolt also raises the pitch at neighboring and op-

posite tuning bolts. Thus, after tightening the tun-

ing bolt with the lowest sound, again check the

pitch at the other tuning bolts before tightening

the tuning bolt with the next lowest pitch. While

alternately tightening the other bolts, do not touch

the tuning bolt with the highest pitch (reference

pitch).

Adjusting the Pitch

■ Head Tuning

1 Tuning is adjusted on the lowest note of the tim-

pani. For this reason, the heel of the pedal must

stay fully lowered during the tuning procedure.

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 lowest sound of

a 26" timpani should be tuned to A. When tuned

properly, your Yamaha timpani will play through-

out its full tonal range with balanced tension in

the paddle.

2 Strike the head and check the sound.

The standard striking point is shown below.

■ Standard Tonal Ranges for Yamaha Timpani

The standard striking

point lies at distance B

from the kettle edge,

which corresponds

approximately to 1/4 to

1/3 of the distance

between the kettle

edge and the center of

the head.

• Sound is lower than the tuning note

→ Go to step 3.

• Sound is higher than the tuning note

→ Loosen the tuning bolts by an equal

amount in the order shown in the figure of

step

5 on page 7.

Striking point

Keep the heel of the pedal fully lowered during

the tuning procedure (steps

2 through 7 below)

tp3100ea_en_om.6pm 08.2.5, 9:28 AM8

5 Loosen all over-tightened bolts according to the

procedure described in step 3 (*2). When the pitch

is approximately the same at each bolt, repeat-

edly depress the toe and heel of the pedal sev-

eral times.

6 Repeat steps 3 through 5 until the pitch at each

bolt is exactly the same.

7 Check the sound by striking the head as de-

scribed in step 2.

• Sound is lower than the tuning note

→ Tune the instrument by tightening all tun-

ing bolts by an equal amount (max.

1/16 of a turn).

• Sound is higher than the tuning note

→ Tune the instrument by loosening all tun-

ing bolts by an equal amount (max.

1/16 of a turn) according to the procedure

described in step

8 Operate the pedal as described in step 5. If the

pitch does not change, the instrument is tuned

properly.

(If the pitch changes, repeat from step

7.)

The instrument is now tuned to the lowest sound

(note) of its tonal range. Depress the toe of the

pedal to change to a higher pitch (note).

9 After tuning, perform ■ Pedal Adjustment and

then ■ Tuning Indicator Adjustment.

Adjusting the Pitch

● Pedal balance spring mechanism

Your Yamaha timpani is equipped with a unique pedal

balance spring mechanism (a coil spring counteracting

the tension of the head) which allows you to freely

change the pitch (note) of the instrument. When the pedal

is moved, the pitch of the head will change, and the bal-

ance spring ensures that the pedal angle (pitch) will not

change when you remove your foot from the pedal.

■ Pedal Adjustment

After depressing the toe and heel of the pedal, turn the

spring tension adjustment bolt as described below.

Note Do not loosen the spring tension ad-

justment bolt by more than 3 rotations

at a time, as the toe of the pedal tends

to drop abruptly after a specific point.

Caution

Never place your fingers or foot into the mov-

ing parts or the space under the pedal or base.

Serious injury can result if fingers or feet be-

come pinched.

• Heel moves up when releasing the foot from the

pedal after depressing the heel, or the heel feels

heavier than the toe.

→ Turn the spring tension adjustment bolt to the

left (counterclockwise).

•Toe moves up when releasing the foot from the

pedal after depressing the toe, or the toe feels

heavier than the heel

→ Turn the spring tension adjustment bolt to the

right (clockwise).

Use the supplied spring adjustment wrench to turn the

spring adjustment bolt. Do not turn too many full rota-

tions at once, and re-check the adjustment every 2 turns

by pressing the toe and heel of the pedal.

■ Tuning Indicator Adjustment

The tuning indicator shows where to set the pedal for each note. After tuning the instrument, you must set each note

on the indicator to its proper position.

Adjusting the Pitch

1 After you have tuned your timpani to the lowest

note of its tonal range, make sure that the pointer

is located within 10 mm from the pedal-side end

of the indicator rail.

* If not, refer to “Adjusting the Pointer Position”.

2 Slide the lowest note of the indicator (“A” in the

case of a 26" timpani—see “Standard Tonal

Ranges for Yamaha Timpani” on page 8) to the

position where its center line coincides with the

pointer.

3 Tune the instrument to the next higher pitch (note)

by moving the pedal, and then slide the corre-

sponding note on the rail to the respective pointer

position. Repeat for each remaining note.

● Adjusting the Pointer Position

First loosen the pointer lock nut and then turn the ad-

juster as follows:

•Pointer is located beyond the lower rail end

when the heel of the pedal is lowered fully (low-

est note).

→ Turn the adjuster to the left (counter clockwise)

until the pointer is aligned with the lowest note

of the indicator.

•Pointer moves beyond the upper rail end before

the toe of the pedal reaches the end of its stroke,

or Pointer does not reach the lower rail end

when the heel of the pedal is lowered fully (low-

est sound)

→ Turn the adjuster to the right (clockwise) to

correct the pointer position as required.

Replacing the Head

2 After removing all tuning bolts, mark the pedal

side of the hoop with cellophane tape, so that the

hoop can be re-mounted in the same position as

it was prior to removal. Remove the head together

with the hoop. Be careful not to lose any of the

tuning bolts and prevent dust from adhering to

them. Also, avoid touching the tuning bolt threads,

as they are greased.

* Be careful not to make any scratches in the edge

tape attached to the kettle’s edge. If the tape is peel-

ing or badly damaged, it must be replaced with Tim-

pani Edge Tape (TPT-100 Teflon™ tape).

Pedal

3 Place the new head with the hoop on the kettle.

When using a Yamaha timpani head, make sure

its YAMAHA logo is on the side opposite the pedal.

The hoop must be re-mounted in the same posi-

tion as marked with cellophane tape in step

2. In

the proper order, tighten the tuning bolts alter-

nately by hand until the head is tensioned slightly.

At this time, make sure that the head and hoop

are centered on the kettle.

Tighten each tuning bolt an additional 1/4 of a

turn using the timpani key. Repeat at least 4 times.

4 Adjust the timpani as described on page 6 “Initial

Preparation” starting with step 5.

For precise tuning, refer to the section “Adjusting

the Pitch” on page 8.

Cellophane tape

Hoop

● Interval for head replacement

The maximum head life normally is approximately 2

years and depends on the frequency and duration of

use. However, the head should always be replaced be-

fore the sound quality deteriorates dramatically. If a head

is left on and used more than two years, the following

problems may occur:

• It may become impossible to tune the head to the

proper pitch range.

• It may become impossible to balance the pedal.

• The main unit mechanisms themselves may become

damaged.

When the head is slightly tensioned and its surface looks

wavy or shows dents, it is time to replace the head with

a new one.

1 Loosen the tuning bolts on opposite sides of the

timpani.

Caution

Do not touch the pedal when loosening the tun-

ing bolts (loosening the head). Also, never place

your fingers or foot into space under the pedal,

around its base, or its moving parts. Changes

in spring tension can cause the pedal to sud-

denly move, posing a great danger.
