Premier Fibreglass 5325-2
Premier's Concert Series fibreglass range offer a lighter-weight alternative to the copper and aluminium bowl models, providing excellent response and tonal qualities to fulfil the needs of music organisations. Fibreglass timpani are very suitable for outdoor use. They are also very well priced for organisations where budget is a primary consideration.
These series are extremely popular in schools and colleges where instruments are often moved around from classroom to concert hall and are played by numerous students at all stages of their musical education. The National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, for example, have always played Premier timpani. The Concert Series timpani are also popular in brass and wind ensembles where a budget may be in place and for whom frequent transport is a consideration.
To maximize its acoustic capabilities, every Concert Series timpani is fitted with an opaque Remo head, and a felt-lined, powder-coated counterhoop. The base casting is a single piece, as are the leg struts so any interference through rattling parts is avoided. The perfectly balanced radial rods deliver soundless tuning when tensioning and slackening the head by means of the trademark Premier action pedal.
The easy-to-read tuning gauge can be adjusted for German (сode name with OPP) or International set-ups and represents the range of one sixth available across each timpani.
